Cat. I can't be positive but I'm pretty sure that your tires are uni-directional and your right front (which is the only one I can see) is going the wrong way. You might want to get them checked out.

actually now that im thinking about it..the front passenger wheel (rim and tire) i had replaced because i curb rashed it..so im using the curb rashed one as a spare...maybe they gave me the wrong tire
if only one tire is incorrect is that really bad? will it make much of a difference?

BTW, I'm calling up my body shop dude and asking how much it would be to prep and paint the grill.
