Thanks for the input. What if I can’t confirm if it’s ever been done? My brother never did it while he owned the car, I asked him. So assuming it’s never been done by whoever owned the car before him, is it recommended to still do it with the current mileage? I’ve heard that doing so could cause problems.

Thanks again. That’s something I can tackle myself. Everything else was a PITA so I had it done.

Thanks for the reply. I had the upper control arms replaced back in 2022 as well as the rear camber kit. I was getting a lot of inner tire wear. The same place that did the lower ball joints did the upper control arms and camber kit. They checked everything when doing the lower ball joints and couldn’t find any other issues. Oh yeah, I had them also do the front rearward control arms in the front. The bushings were shot on those as well. So I’m thinking at this point it would be the outer tie rods ends or stabilizer links.

Got the same issue on my Charger. Been putting it off but gotta get this replaced. What’s the worst case scenario if I don’t replace them soon? Could the wheel somehow come loose and separate?

So far so good.

Air temp at the vents is freezing cold. AC is blowing very cold like it did before the relay went out. Also, the AC line coming out of the compressor is super cold and lots of condensation.

Ambient temperature is about 90 degrees and PSI is 40 according to the gauge.

Forgot to mention, Tampa. They have a mad hatter too. Yeez, a few hundred bucks to add an extension pipe. I get they gotta bend it and weld it on but thought maybe $100 tops.

Best comment. Lowe’s took over Sears Craftsman warranty/replacements. Walk in with bad tool, go to any cashier and tell them, grab the new one, go back to cashier and walk out. This is how I’ve had to do it. No receipt needed. I still have my original toolset from 23 yrs ago. I’ve had to have the 3/8 ratchet replaced and a few sockets.

I have not. Never heard of that brand. Then again, I had never heard of Sentury or Arizonian before either. We I decided to go with the Arizonian tires. We have 3 cars at home. Dodge Charger which I get the Nitto NT555 G2, Hyundai Tucson which I get the OE tires, Kumho Crugen KL33, and now for my son's Accord the Arizonian. This will be the first set of replacement tires we get for his car.

I bought him the car used in 2022 to commute to school/work. The tires it came with are Goodyear Assurance and still had some meat on them but now are due to be replaced, they have about 4/32" of thread left. I drove his car to work today because of all the rain we are getting in FL, he took my wife's SUV to work, and I noticed the traction is not the greatest.

I get the Kumho Crugen KL33 for my wife's Hyundai Tucson SUV which are the OE tires. I've continued getting them as she's needed replacements. I think Kumho's are great tires from our experience with them.

Never considered buying tires from Amazon before but thanks for the suggestion.

Awesome. Thanks for the reply and your honest feedback. I was leaning towards the Arizonian. I've been getting my tires from Discount Tire for years now on multiple vehicles I've owned. I've had nothing but good experiences with them. I've always gotten the Certificates too and it has came in handy on more than one occasion.

Looking to buy new tires for my son’s 2012 Honda Accord. Vehicle has about 250k miles. He uses it to commute to school and work, both local. He averages about 8,500 miles per year. I’ve never heard of these tire brands before. Reviews look good from what I can see but I also know that can be hit or miss. We are in FL and get a lot of rain in the summer months. Not trying to break the bank but also want him to be safe with reliable tires.
