Re: [DML] Re: Tires



I have Cobras on the rear, had it aligned (front and back) and on a damp road on a mild curve I went into a nice spin ending up almost all the way around. Thankfully no one was near me. The alignment shop noted a flat spot on one of the Cobras before the spin. I have the lowered spring set and he also noticed premature wear on the inside of the tires. Guess I will have to get a pair of adjustable lower control arms. Be sure when they align the rear they check the camber. Hopefully this will help with my tire wear as well handling. I will be checking the bushings for wear too.
