Sounds good but you have got to hurry and make sure. The deadline for greyhound claims almost up.

You guys would all be surprised at how tires can get shot, vibrate and make tons of noise even though they have good tread left.

i replaced a set of tires on my TL that still had 30% tread left when i blew one out really bad, the new tires were amazing. i had the old ones on the car so long you just get used to the noise and vibrations... just a thought...

there look closer
When you're wearing performance tires, the front edge of a tread block doesn't see the same forces as the rear edges. Different heights there is not necessarily a point of concern. He's probably used to seeing 800 treadwear tires that wear smoothly on Ford Festivas.

uneven tire wear is not something that is supposed to happen just cause.... feathering, uneven wear inner , outer....is not natural performance or not.....like i said my stock rims at highway speeds ride smooth as can be....but when i put those on it shook my steering wheel like a vibrator....
