Then I saw this one tire from the rear of the driver&#8217;s side.<\/p>\n<p>With every set of tires that I&#8217;ve had on the car (this is the second or third, I think, in ~180,000 miles) I&#8217;ve had uneven wear from one wheel. It&#8217;s spotty, paneled, and results in a series of flat spots around the inside of the tire. I&#8217;d think that rotating the tires more often would help it, but I think I let these tires go a little too long without rotating them. They might not have even been done this year, having gone since the snow tires were removed in the spring.<\/p>\n<p>This wasn&#8217;t losing air, but I&#8217;m really lucky that I didn&#8217;t have a sudden tire failure.\u00a0I&#8217;ll definitely be buying new tires before spring now. (And no, the snow tires don&#8217;t have this kind of wear&#8230; But I did get an alignment some last year, after buying these tires but before the snow tires got much use.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; I was originally going to post a photo of a wear indicator mentioning that, with fitting the new snow tires, I&#8217;ll need to get&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/2013\/11\/29\/not-paying-enough-attention-to-car-maintenance\/\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Not paying enough attention to car maintenance&#8230;<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17633","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-automotive","entry"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17633","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17633"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17633\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17634,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17633\/revisions\/17634"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17633"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17633"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17633"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
