NWI INGO General Post - Part 8

Looks like it was badly aligned or not aligned at all.

Install new tires and you should have the alignment done at the same time. If you don't align them you run the risk of uneven wear, which is what that looks like.

On a unrelated note the wife has cute me back to 6 ice cubes in my drink instead of 5

Well to NTB jedi goes as those tires were bought AND aligned in JAN 2014.
Thanks

That won't help you.

You do realize that hitting a curb, a pothole, etc can throw off the alignment???

So if the job was done in January, that was during pothole season! NTB is going to say it is your fault (or your wife's fault). Further they will say it is your responsibility to notice uneven tread wear! And they will be correct.

Honestly this is simple neglect, or, in computer terms, user error.

Not the fault of NTB.

How many miles are on that Tire... Looks normal high mileage wear to me.

If he bought road hazard it'll be covered

 

[melensdad]

And the reason I say that NTB is going to say its your fault is because to wear a tire so unevenly as to show the belting it would take MONTHS of driving with non-aligned tires. You should have seen the tread wear showing uneven wear in the early spring and done something about back then.

Its a lot harder to see uneven tread wear on the inside of the tire, but this is on the outside where it is obvious.

If he bought road hazard it'll be covered

Road Hazard typically is for punctures, side bulges, etc, not for driving around with unaligned tires.

That whole time looks worn. Yes the outside Is worse but look at the tread bars, thing is shot. Cheap tires

Cut you back to 6 instead of 5? Ok, I get you. More ice = less drink.

Common Core math.

No replacement for displacement.

Thanks for the bad news melensdad.
Jedis fault or not the car needs a fixing so off to do that tomorrow.
Ctc 4,000 miles is what the tires have on them.

Hum... if no replacement for diss...
Might well go somewhere else to get new tires and alignment.

I need one of those but this works for now.

 

[CTC B4Z]

Does it pull to one way or the other

I hope NTB honors something regarding a warranty but I suspect they will give you a very hard time.

I think my dog is done playing fetch.

 

[CTC B4Z]

A bad alignment causing that has to be pulling like crazy. I'm in for faulty Tire....

Finally got around to watching The Blind Side.
I don't like it much, it makes me feel feelings.
