One of our cars, the tires need to be balanced and it got MUCH worse after over-inflating...and the other car, nearly lost the tread due to separation...not sure if it was due to the inflation, or junky Michelins?? __________________ -- Randall McIntyre's First Law: "Under the right circumstances, anything I tell you may be wrong."
