Driving on cupped (and noisy!) tires: Is it a safety issue or an annoyance?
Reason for asking is that my wife's car (2006 Altima 3.5 SE) has 80,500 miles with ~42k miles on some Bridgestone Potenza G-019 tires.
They're indeed cupped and indeed noisy.
Car-X wants to blame the suspension on the cupped tires.
A previous thread I started on this subject has lead me to believe that it's a tire issue.
So, can we eek out some more noisy miles on cupped tires, or should I be tire shopping post-haste?
-J-
