Anyone else feel the same?
I end up getting new tires like once every year and a half it seems, often having to toss rear tires with otherwise decent tread because they wear unevenly. But usually only need 2 tires at a time. The rears wear faster and also unevenly because my springs or control arm has it sitting on negative camber. I fixed a lot of driver’s side rear, but now the passenger side is starting to go negative as well. Replaced rear shocks but no luck on springs anywhere. But I plan to get the 2 upper control arms replaced soon.
Currently waiting on a new set of fronts because when I moved my Goodyears from the back, I been getting intermittent vibration and pulling, likely because the inside starts losing more tread, all my rear tires eventually wear to wires on the inside (i do a lot of highway) The tires have enough tread, but one of the tire places recommended replacements last month. Even a balancing didn’t really fix the issue.
Also for the rears, I’m considering a more expensive all season that can handle some snow and occasional quick burn outs. Even though I’m trying to stop that habit, but find myself wanting to do it at least once a year, last time was in middle of downtown, I coulda got an major ticket or arrested! And when I let off the brake, I fishtailed for a second lol.
But mainly I need traction for the occasional snow. Right now I still have the rear wheels on winter tires on until May…Midwest can still get snow in April, even May. And without snow tires, it’s almost impossible to maintain control.
