If that is your expert opinion... I will definitely inquiry about those. And if they don't have them then I'll know that I'm at the wrong store.
Thanks Sunshine your always looking out for us.

Aww bro... you have at least 250000 miles left on those tires. Just melt the rubber next to the wires and smear it towards them until they are completely covered.

LOL My best tip for keeping the tires aligned is never let your husband drive your car, sigh. As for tire brands, I give up. I've gotten the same brand twice in a row. Once lasted forever and the second set didn't even make it 1/2 as long. So I have no clue.

@Indagrow might have a far more informed opinion about tires though.
I did this too had a Dodge Dakota brand new, tires that came with the truck almost 70 thousand miles, so I go to get new tires, insist I want the exact same tire (even though there were cheaper alternatives) The second set lasted less then half as long around 30 thousand miles :wall::roll: WTH is up with that? I even had the shocks replaced and an alignment done when I bought them figured at 70 thousand I was overdue.

Was probably same tread, different compound. They purposely put harder quieter tires on new cars for these reasons. If tires don't last until 1/2 way through the bumper to bumper warranty, people tend to get pissed at the car mfg not the tire mfg.

Beautiful, we do have some lovely places around here. Be careful right now and walk with a stick and don't stick your hands where you can't see. The rattlers are active right now even around LA and city rattlers have terrible attitudes.

What's the other side of the tire look like? If the two outboard sides of a tire are low tread and the insides have more tread you could be running them under inflated.



PS I'm sure you know that as do I. However I'm not as careful about tire pressures as I should be even knowing that LOL

I'm pretty religious about checking the pressure every week or so. Fuck that TPMS.

Totally the inside edge only. At a glance the tires look ok , but.... not so.

I always check the pressures, fluids, belts.... before a trip. I can't believe I haven't seen this sooner.

Hahahahahahahahahaha. He's probably already done. The last deck he built in a day by himself while I was still trying to figure out which way the bolt goes in my wheelbarrow.
Not quite but I did get the rest of the deck taken down. Now I have to either buy a backhoe or find someone else to dig a hole for me to put in a new grey water drain. The house originally only had one bathroom and now it has 3 so we need bigger tanks.

I knew you would be at least that far. I zoomed in to creep on your house and came upon your backwards chicken thinking it was another dog and was like "wait what in the fuck is that!".

Backward chicken, I agree what the hell was that :D

Nice looking Laspho Apso? Is that what the dog is? We had a couple when I was young, very good family dogs. Backwards chicken looks a little like one of those weird owls from behind :D
