[s-cars] Odd S6 Vibes

[iain.atkinson at tesco.net]

Well it does seem like it's the tyres, been out this morning and drove to work in it and all seems pretty much fine, checked the wheel bolts they are tight. Nvere had this before when i have left cars at airports etc, i wonder if it's a problem associated with different brands of tyre???

Thanks goes again to the list
