It would have to be really way off to chew up a tire on single trip. Doesn't hurt to align every time you replace tires if you don't mind paying.
I don't. I would rather that than chew up another $300 tire. I learned my lesson. I live in the second to worst state in the nation, and our roads are no exception. I could literally total my 370Z on public roads by ripping the oil-pan off the engine and destroying the K-member if I did not dodge some of the up-heavals in our roads. No exaggeration. Never even bother visiting LA is my advice. It's a crap state in EVERY WAY POSSIBLE.

That out of the way...

The dealership turned my front rotors and re-bedded my brakes for me. They said the driver's side rotor had to be turned twice and was the issue. Crazy. Pads wore equally on both sides, they said. I don't know why the driver's side rotor would have shat the bed so badly.

lmao. The way you bad mouth Lousiana makes me laugh because you do so in SO many of your posts. It's great. I visited LA once when my Step dad's sister still lived there. Could have done without it.

Why do you live there, if I might ask? You seem to utterly hate it. I hope you're getting paid a ton of money so at least the misery is justified.

I kindof am. I earn about what someone who does what I do earns in Palo Alto,CA. That is literally the only thing keeping me here.

Currently saving for a move in 2013, though. I got into NFA weapons and have some stuff "Pending" and am going to wait until I get it, then move. SO MUCH EASIER! than sending in an address change before it clears.

The plan is Fayetteville, AR. I like small towns, just not crappy inbred towns like Shreveport, and before anyone who knows nothing of AR but the common incest jokes, check out what I mean about how awesome Fayetteville is, as compared to the dump I live in now:

vs.

PS. I hope you didn't drink the water or touch the women, when you visited. Both are disgusting and can cause health problems.
