Default I finally founnd out what is wrong with my cars handling!

Well for the past month or so my car's handling has been acting up. The overall rided has been very shaky. At first, I thought nothing of it, unntil it gradually got worse. Finally today I got fed up and went on a mission to find out what was wrong with it. Didn't take me long! I looked at the rear passenger side tire and it was torn to shreads. There was metal sticking out of it! Im glad I didn't drive it too much more because I might have had a blow out!

yep that would do it. Is the tire just worn all the way out?

haha yea but im finally getting it fixed today
i need 3 new tired but might just get one because im thinking of getting rims with tires used for 500, they need 2 new tires sometime soon though. If i get that how much would 2 tires be for 17 inch rims. They dont have to be anything special just tires. I m guessing i would need low profile

Glad you cought it before something really bad happend. I was going to blockbusters lastnight and saw a car with sparks flying out of the tires. I don't see how people don't realize their tires are worn out. Then again i check everything on my car aleast once a week.

keeping them rotated every 3-5K miles works wonders... helps keep my tire wear perfectly even all the way across, even with negative 2.25 deg. camber (no camber kit).
