tire wear

Re: tire wear
Yes, when one wheel or the other is out of toe, you actually get some wear
on both tires because the toe is divided between the two in order for the
vehicle to go straight down the road. Once a tire wear pattern from it is
set though, you don't get that rubber back, so the tires will continue to
wear funny, and may get noisy, or start to pull, if the wear is bad enough.
If the back tires are in better shape, I'd have all four balanced and then
rotated. Tire wear changes the balance of the tire, an out of balance tire
increases wear on the tire, and wear on related suspension components, and
eventually, you "back side" once the out of balance condition starts to
vibrate.
Good luck man,

Re: tire wear
If you'd be so kind to provide the info on how to do this I'd appreciate it,
pics would be great too, but a write will do. If its something I can do in
a couple hours on a Saturday (about the only day the zj is in the drive)
I'll give it a shot...
Snow... email is valid so can just send directly.. :)
