Bent Wheel?

[badabing33a]

my rf tire is showing the cords. so i swapped the tires around thinking it needed an alignment. now b4 i did the swap, the car veered slightly to the right. now it goes to the left. that would mean a bent wheel right? and would that cause that tire to wear more? or was it bc it was on the drive axle side?

could be uneven tire pressure, uneven tire wear, bad alignment or the tire being unbalanced.

if the rim is bent you'll have a hell of a time trying to get it balanced...

Did you at least replace the tires?

ok i took it up the road. veered like crazy to the left. brang it home and put some air in it and went for another test drive. this time it barely did anything. basically went straight. the tire looked like it had a decent tire psi. but definitely helped. so that brings up the question of why that tire wore so fast. alignment? i did notice both tires are toe out slightly (top of tire pointed out and bottom in). so, i will try to make it to Bills Tires tomorrow and get new tires. i was told to burn the f*** out of them right before i get there . and ive never did a burnout with this set of tires on. just launched alot.

Take it down to any wheel place and have it checked. They should be able to tell you within five minutes if it is bent.

Major launches does wonders on eating up tires real quickly. You heat the tires up and the rubber breaks down faster.

You sure that someone hasn't been drifting on you by stealing your ride while you're not looking?

well...i do like to turn left. ha you know that kevin harvick commercial? well am a dirt track driver. but i still turn tight on the highway. maybe just higher speed to the left? idk. i am just going to get it aligned. maybe thatll help.
