Hi,

The front factory tyres on my 2011 Multivan have worn after only 27k's of driving...which is disappointing. Called the service centre (who noticed the worn tyres at the first service and charged me for a wheel alignment) and they said that a bump could have done it and it would be considered part of normal wear and tear rather than a fault with the car.

....and so I am hunting for new tyres. Current tyres are Bridgestone R410's. Apparently they are now superceded by the R411. Would anyone recommend getting basically the same tyre or should I get another brand?. The guy at my local Tyre centre said that they manufacturers put in a fair amount of effort in choosing the correct tyre for their cars and so going with the same brand would be recommended.

Anyone got any advise? Is this sort of wear normal? Should I stick with/stay away from the R411's?

Thanks in advance.
