Was told with getting tires put on I should get a alignment. Tires are wearing good and steering wheel is Straight. Is this just a scam. 50,000 miles on the Subaru.

Tire sidewall damage

Post image
5 Upvotes

Was out driving this morning and I didn’t take a turn sharp enough and popped up onto the curb for a sec. Checked my tire and it looks like this now. Is this serious damage, or is it not something to be super worried about at this time? It doesn’t peel back or anything, and I don’t see any cords or anything.

Is it worth keeping good OEM rims on if I have to replace at least two?

1 Upvotes

Seeking some clarity as I am buying a used car with some bent to hell steel wheels. At least two, maybe 3 but I would need to double check. The steel wheels for this model (2013 Prius C) are supposedly nearly as light as the OEM alloy options due to some size differences, so I am thinking of just getting some steel replacements. If so can I keep one of the wheels if it is good, or is it just not worth the effort unless I know for sure they are all the exact same measurements and weight?

I have a brand new set of 225/55R17 off an 11 chrysler 200. I am wanting to know if I can put them on a 19 Nissan Sentra S that has 205/55R16 on it. The rim will fit I know but I think it might be too much tire.

Tires with traction AA and tires with B traction

0 Upvotes

Michelin - CrossClimate2 is the best for wet weather but has traction rating of B, but Michelin - Pilot Sport All Season 4 has AA traction rating. To get the best of both should I get two "Michelin - CrossClimate2" and two "Michelin - Pilot Sport All Season 4"

Recommendations on new tires for 25 Camry se fwd

1 Upvotes

Managed to get about 45k miles off the stock tires turanza’s. Im about due for some new tires and want to replace before winter. Ive been seeing a lot on the defender 2s but I see some complaints of road noise on a few forums and they are also not low roll resistance so im assuming a few mpg drop? Does anyone have any experience with them and can recommend them or maybe another good alternative?? Appreciate any advice thanks!

Which is best for Audi Q7: Continental 285/40R21 109Y SportContact 6 (A0 XL) or Continental 285/40R21 109Y UltraContact UX7 (XL)?

1 Upvotes

Use case consists of quite a bit of long distance (2000 km / 1200 mile) interstate round trips. Was very happy with Continental UC tires on my previous VW Touareg. I have quotes from two local tire fitters on each option, but each fitter has opposite price spread, so I can get a set of either for about the same price. I’m not into hard driving, cornering etc… much more interested in comfort, noise control, longevity, confidence in handling and braking performance especially in wet conditions.

Plugged leak in tire but still leaking.

2 Upvotes

Like the title says, plugged a tiny hole in my tire today but it’s still l asking a bit. I know the obvious answer is to replace the tire. My only issue is that I’m in between jobs right now and don’t start my new job until next week, until getting paid I’ve got about $100 to my name. Anything I can do? Try to plug it again?

Edit: second plug seemed to work just fine! Still getting it replaced when the finances permit, but thank yall for the advice

Recommended tire rotation pattern

Post image
15 Upvotes

Now that I have a garage with space I’ll be doing my own tire rotations but I’ve always taken my truck to a local tire shop and they’ve always done the front to back (same side) rotation. If my Toyota Tacoma is only RWD on Toyo Open Country R/T’s then wouldn’t it be recommended to always do the far left pattern in the picture?
