Tires: outside wear, life thanks, alignment
QuestionMy left front outside edge has most of the tread worn off. The right front outside edge is beginning to show wear. So I had the front end realigned. The center of the tires still have more than 50% tread life left on them. Is there any problem in keeping these tires on and using up the remaining tread life? Thanks!
AnswerRuss,
I hope you realize that once you have the wear on the outside - which was caused by the alignment - that fixing the alignment didn't put rubber on the tire, so it will continue to have wear on the outside for its remaining life. - AND - while the wear on the outside will go at a reduced rate, the outside is what is going to be worn out first - which means the tire should be removed at that point.
