Lesson Learned

DEAR PAUL, Further to Grahame Berry’s letter in April 2020 issue titled “Death Wobble”. Some years ago I bought a set of Sunraysia wheels for my Mitsubishi ute, and I was told that they have a different offset to the original wheels, but I wasn’t worried about it. I fitted them up, it didn’t handle any different, but I scrubbed out a set of tyres in six months. That was a lesson learned for me.
