Having just had the 1st (12,500 mile) service on my C-Max 1.8 TDCI Titanium, I was shocked to be informed that the front tyres were illegal as they only had between 0 & 1mm tread on the inside edges. [4mm across main width]The wheel alignment was (Toe -0 deg 06 L&R Ft. +0 deg 01 L Rr. & +0deg 04 R Rr.) So, I was presented with a quotation of £171 per tyre and £70 for alignment. Not what I expected from a 7 month old car! When I telephoned the Ford Help Line, I was told it was the way I drive, which I feel was a little harsh as I regularly achieve well over 50mpg.
Has anyone experienced similar tyre wear and what should be done to prevent it? The dealer said that it could be down to various things, hitting pot holes, the heavy diesel engine, increased torque, incorrect adjustment from factory,etc.
Otherwise the car is totally delightful
