Tyres absolutly fine mate, also thought that it could be the 15" alloys and swapped them for the 13" steels still the same (although my last one still got 300miles/£30 even with the alloys on anyway) no roof rack theres no weight at all bar the spare wheel and me (12st so not that big ) its a 1996 MK4 mate 1.3 Endura EFi engine
