Yeah I got a second opinion. The front tires have a little more life on them, the rears are close to their wear bars with slight cupping. From what I understand cupping can occur also when you don't rotate your tires, which I can't really do on this car. With the bent wheels I have had lately I am not surprised that the tires are having issues.
So the rears need to be replaced soon anyway, will likely go ahead and replace all 4 so that I have the same tire on the fronts and rears. With the tire I am looking at it is cheaper to replace all 4 than just two of the OEM SP Sport Maxx :lol:
What's odd is that the vibrations are non existent after the car / tires are warmed up so it may be the TC kicking in slightly. I will know for sure after it has a new set of rubber on.
