225 19's - Cracked near side rear (and possibily offside rear also).
There is quite a story surrounding mine, but cutting it short, Near side back had puncture some months ago, had it replaced by supplying dealer. However, they have fitted the wrong size tyre. Turns out they fitted the front tyre size to the back!
To be honest - although the alloy seemed to protrude out more than others, I didn't pay full attention to it. The car key'd by some ar@e so got it resprayed at another dealership and they confirmed that the wrong size of tyre had been fitted.
So spoke to the original supplying dealership, and they confirmed that they would replace the tyre but that the alloy was cracked. Same story has I’ve been reading here - no liability admitted, they also refused to accept that the wrong size of tyre could have caused the failure, and if I wanted them to fit the correct size back on, I would need to pay £505 for a replacement alloy.
Haven’t done anything about it yet, but would greatly appreciate advice / guidance.
Has anyone yet gone to watchdog on this? - If not im happy to start the ball rolling.
