Hi MPStrav, may I refer you to the sticky threads located below as this has been conversed a fair bit before
handling-wheels-tyres
GEN II and already new tyres???
Happened to me too, although I think the Beaurepairs dude was a bit keen for a sale. His said that both of my rear tyres had inside wear on them and he wouldn't put them back on.Quote:

There is a fair bit of neg camber on the back of the gen 2.
Wouldnt surprise me that its eating up the tyres.
Don't think a recent track day helped though ;)Quote:

Yeah, I did go elsewhere. I was a bit peeved. But does the shop have grounds not to put un-roadworthy tyres back on the car?Quote:

They can not repair an un roadworthy tyre or sell you unroadworthy tyres but they should not have an issue if they just take your tyre off and then put it back on and do not charge you for anything.
I am also at the stage where I need to look at tyres. I am at around 25,000Km
I am just saying they are probably just covering their butt (and trying to make a sale at the same time).Quote:
