stump_breaker Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 My first rotate and balance at ~10k miles. You would expect some abnormal wear on the front tires due to the fact the car is lowered. None for me. Tires are perfect. The rear tires on the other hand are all but shot. The inner edge is wore past the tread and down to the wear bars! Bent axle tube? Both tires show the same wear. Anyone else have this problem? Taking her to the dealership here shortly.

I would have thought the same on the front also. But, no problems here so far and i just clicked 10K, except my rears are worn because of my occasional light em up fest and drag racing....................... Hope its nothing serious for you. :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stump_breaker Posted December 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 <bleep> where do u people go? i only have just under 2k My wife and I took a roadtrip to Vegas which accounts for about 3500 miles. The rest is because we live so far from anything. A trip to the store for bread takes about 30 minutes round trip. My wife is 31 miles one-way from work. That's why she drives a Hyundai and the Shelby stays parked most of the time. Dealership said it appears to be bad shocks causing severe feathering of the tires. I'm supposed to take it back on Wednesday. Oh, and they wont touch the hood sccop fix (rolling eyes). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
