Was having severe vibration. Thought may be an alignment or balance issue. They say it's the tires.


Your tires could be balder than Michael Jordan and your car could not vibrate. It's something other than the tires and the Pep Boy is about to go in raw

If you're saying the wear pattern is immaterial to a vibration issue, I agree.

I'm in no way a mechanic but yeah I agree. I seriously wear tires down to their last breath bc I could give a shite less. Never had any vehicle vibrate bc of it. I do rotate on every oil change.

Ummmm....NO.

Tire could be out of round. Go back where you bought them. Let them deal with manufacturer. If Pep Boys MAKE them deal with them.

You ever had an egg in a tire?

OP, it is a warranty issue unless something mechanical is wrong with your car

Even wear, sure, but as tires wear out they can get goose eggs which I know first hand will cause extreme vibrations that feel like misalignment or a hub going out. I would raise hell if this is the case with relatively new tires that were rotated properly and I'd paid extra for just this type of thing.
