Got a flat....notice camber wear on tires
so.. on my way home from work tonight crusing on the highway, heard a loud thump followed by continuous thumps thereafter. Knowing this wasn't good pulled over to find a nice big nail in my passenger side front tire, great. thought I could make it home, I was about 6 exits away...one exit later nail flew out and tire was loosing air.
- luckily for me I had a friend who lived nearby the exit the nail flew off and he helped me put on the spare.... now my question is I noticed some camber wear on the tire.. 15,200 miles to be exact on the stock oem bridgestones.
- I know these tires are complete crap but... is this camber wear normal? ive seen other posts about it but, is it the tires? or something to do with the car? im pretty sure my alignment is fine. If I buy a new set of tires eventually will this end up happening again? any insight would be appreciated. trying to gain some knowledge for the future.
** also is it true that with AWD cars, if you change one tire you have to change all 4? because it might mess up the drivetrain or something, at least that's what I was told. think I saw it here on the forums somewhere not sure though. thanks in advance !
