Just got back from having my motorhome serviced at Chelstons
As we were on the way to collect it the service manager rang me and informed me ,among other things, that my rear tyers were cracked and out of date.
When I asked him what he ment by out of date, he informed me that they were over 9 years old, manufactured 2001 and should be replaced
As we purchased the M/H 1/10/2008 this would mean that the tyres were
at least 7 Years old when they sold us the M/H
When we got to Chelstons I asked the service manager if there was not a duty of care on the seller to have replaced the tyres or to have informed me at the time of sale that the tyres were nearing the end f there usfull life, the service manager then claimed it was only a recommendation that they be changed at 7 -9 years
Tyersafe, The Tyre Industry Council, organisation says on it,s web site that it is recommended that tyres be replaced at 5 years and never used beyond 7 years
So fellow funsters Where to from here ?
