Scirocco Central

Just picked my car up from the garage as it had to have a new Lambada sensor fitted under warranty and they gave me the usual health check form and it said

Front Right Tyre - Outer Tread 5.5, Middle 3.5, Inner 4.5 - alloy mishaped
Front Left Tyre - Outer 5.5, Middle4.5, Inner 4.5 - alloy mishaped
Both rears - Outer 6.5, Middle 6.5, Inner 6.5 - all ok

What's weird is they have just been swapped around (front and reared) as I had new front tyres fitted at the start of the month so in essence the wheels on the front were until recently running on the rear.

I would have thought these would be the wheels that would have been mishaped if any as they had covered the last 24,000 miles on the front although I have no recollection of hitting any potholes or such in any event. THe car is 14 months old. Is this anything to worry about? The car feels fine with no imbalance through the steering wheel or my backside - bizarre.

get a wheelshop to check them and maybe balance them with weights.

Mmmmm....maybe if they need balancing I will do that, but they don't feel odd at all - ride is fine, no vibration, just this comment which makes me think they are just putting anything on their forms!

My interlagos has developed a crack so made of cheese seems a good description

One of my rear wheels has a slight flat spot on it so it seams common.
