New tires, may have had some miles left
 
Cleaning up the car last weekend for the trip to Ventura, didn't notice how bad the tires were but thought I should change them before the trip, if I had a flat with my wife in the car the verbal abuse would have gone on forever.
These don't look too bad do they?

You need an alignment.

It will have to wait till after the Ventura trip, what will I expect to pay? the car is in pretty good shape and just turned 70k

Your front end is not in good shape. I'd park it. What kind of jalopy are you sport'n boss?

Jim Bremner 09-09-2008 08:28 PM

I don't think tht the tires owe you anything

BeyGon 09-09-2008 08:36 PM

you think I might have gone 1000 miles to far?

Rick Lee 09-09-2008 08:36 PM

I certainly wouldn't waste money on new tires if you're not gonna get an alignment. Alignments are probably cheaper than the next set of tires you'd need in short order.

Those lasted 15k miles,

mattdavis11 09-09-2008 09:46 PM

To many, those lasted 10K miles, the rest was luck. I can understand if you run a bunch of negative camber, or toe in for better grip on the track, but damn. If one gives you could wipe out.

If you run that way on the highways, you might want to re-think things before something bad happens. It doesn't rain, I'll never hydro plane, ok. Do it on your own time, but take into consideration those around you, please.
