    Cause of tire problem ? Only rear right, I had to change it after 15000kms, do you know if the cause can be Spring rubbers ?

    only 1 tire had problem, and of course I replaced it already. Tires are checked weekly since I got the car, so it's not the cause. But still trying to find the cause as it seems nobody understands it.

    Wait for brakes light ON to change brake pads, bad idea ? is it too late already if warning lights turns ON ?

    Thank you, this is why I am asking, I do not want to play with brakes, but at the same time, I wanted to know if it's stupid to change them too early. So I can wait that the brakes warning light turn on, and ten if the disks are not too old, I can only replace the pads ? thanks again.
