Strange request but bear with me...
Popped into KF today to get them to check my front tread depth, as I've lost my own gauge thingumy. Front left is at 2mm and the front right is 3mm.
Now the lease company will only authorise replacement tyres when they get to 2mm or under. The guy said he could replace the front left there and then and then replace the right when it wears down. I said I didn't want that doing as I'd not be keen on having a brand new tyre on one side and only 2-3mm on the other for a while, especially as I'm off to Germany in a few weeks, so I left it.
What I need to do is wear at least 1mm off the front right tyre in the next 2-3 weeks so I can get two shiny new ones before the 'ring trip. Ok I could wheelspin at every possible opportunity (bear in mind it's a diesel so not that many opportunities
) but is there a better way to wear a tyre down than acting like a hooligan at lights. Don't really want to just put extra miles on by going for some long drives as the mileage is too high as it is.
