Good question.

I finished replacing all four tires on my AWD vehicle because it was pulling to the right due to uneven tire wear. I also learned that AWD cars do not handle uneven tire wear well, which is bad for alignment and the transmission.

Additionally, two of the wheels were damaged: one was cracked and the other was deformed.

Other parts of the city can see up to golfball sizes and i sure hope my im not under that either in or out of the car.....

Oh i drove to work...spilled lunch in the car My passenger seat got a some but at least most of the soup spilled on on the passenger side rubber mat (when i realized i needed to keep the container upright). So my car is even more filthy now lol (needs a clean inside/out.

BUT

Did not crash.

Good thing is that I don't have to worry about parking outside for my business trip next week.

And since my boss is a car guy (Focus RS) he has said he has no problem with me using the covered parking lot once the 86 is repaired.
