If you want to go for a drive at some point - I am just the other side of Cirencester - happy to do so...

I've been bugging my dad to change the tyre, he doesn't take much notice

ADIs are a mixed breed. The vast majority instruct only up to DVSA pass standard rather than anything beyond. It may be difficult to find one who has the skills and experience (away from the fleet instructors like RobC) to do what you want to do. The only register I could find was at http://www.airso.org.uk/fleet.htm . There appear to be some in Cheltenham... might be worth a punt.

M'm, how many miles on that tyre, and is it just the one that's wearing? Might be worth making sure there's nothing amiss with wheel alignment / steering geometry (can't spell that ) when you get the tyre changed. It's normally the NSF that's out of kilter, as that's the one that usually clouts the kerb!!

I've no clue, but I think that particular tyre has worn a bit more than the others.
But at the same time, I think it's the only tyre on the car that was on the car when we purchased it, we replaced the rear tyres at the same time about 30k miles, and replaced the nearside front a few hundred miles later due to a puncture, and it was pretty low anyway, and now the front offside is super low, and certainly needs changing.
