golucky66 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Most likely an alignment issue. Could be weak struts causing the tore to bounce going down the road. But likely an alignment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Lucky Texan Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 weak struts as said, worn suspension link bushings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloyale Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 rear wheels toed out. And General tires suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster2 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Were the tires that you replaced at the beginning of summer wearing out in the same manner as what you are seeing on the rear tires right now? If so, the tire shop should have given you notice of this, and as others have said, advised you getting an alignment or strut replacement, before installing new tires. That is what my tire shop has done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
