this is a follow up to my wobbling surf thread.it turns out that what felt like a very sudden wheel bearing deteriation,was in fact a tyre having gone out of shape!!two of the guys were spot on in their virtual diagnosis,so thanks for that.i bought my surf from a direct importer,so,i assume the vehicle had stood around at auction,followed by a 45 day sea passage,a low loader from southampton to norfolk,then a month or two in the showroom.now i have two new front tyres,and no more pull to the right either.all seems a bit academic really,as in the spring i hope to change the boots to the beefier 31/10.50/15's,on the advise of the users on this site.cheers guys.
