Glad you are happy with the new tires!

How bad was the alignment?

Thanks the alignment wasn't off by too much, they said everything is back in the green as they showed me the alignment chart. Now I have to go purchase a plug kit and keep it in the trunk.

Or some fix a flat ;-)

If the alignment was not far off, why would you experience such a bad inner tire wear?

My concern is the integrity of the front end. You said you have over 200k miles.

Do you know what front end parts have been changed?

It would be a bummer if these tires did the same thing.

I can't get over how well the convertible rides after driving so long on run flats. Had it not been for this forum I probably would have ordered another set of run flats. So that noise apparently was coming from the inner wear on the run flats. Thanks for all the help guys!!!
No way the tires were making that scrubbing noise in the video you provided.

My guess is the tires I don't know. And the tires were already had some wear on them when I purchased the car. I noticed when I did the carfax the previous owner always got the car aligned when the tires were rotated. The car was a 2 owner before me and 1st owner had it as a lease.
