replacing wheels need help

MounisM · 04-30-2012, 09:26 PM

hi, i think i have gone through my tires cuz i can see a little bit of white line on the inside of the tire on all 4. Can i still ride that tire for couple of hundred miles. I have a set that i bough from this post they are 19 inch should i put the tires on myself and take it to the dealer to do the alignment and balancing or should i just let them do the whole thing. Why did my original tires burn out from the inside? even though it showes a little more thread on the tires

Negative camber causes the inside to wear a little faster. Just take them in and save yourself the trouble.

That's way overpriced. You gonna use your hands to mount them jawns? I'd like to see that.

I just looked on tirerack for a shop that has a touchless mounting machine and roadforce balancing.

whats my best bet this is the only one that is this bad, and like i said wheels i got are in NY.

only times ive seen this kind of wear on a tire is from too much drifting tearing the outter lip of the wheel... Have you done much of this? If not then I would have to say there is a problem if this is how your tires are wearing. If you buy new tires there are places that will put them on and balance and allign for free.
