Time for tires and alignment
So in Seneca SC which about 30 mins from me they do laser alignment. Said it will cost me $210. Also $89 to run the diagnostic on why it says brake failure. I said it’s because the brake fluid was low but I added more. Anyways. Since my rear tire is bald in middle and the front tires have now gone bald on the inside it’s time for a alignment. What sucks is the rest of the tire have a lot of tread left. Does it matter really does the rear tire name brand don’t match the front? I was on tire rack . Com and found a rear tire I was thinking of. Oh the dealership said it’s a 3 week wait before they would get to it. Which is fine by me because I just delivered my baby a month early so been busy going to and from the hospital. Anyways. Thinking about changing the tires myself and then driving my 09 SE5 to the dealership for the alignment. Here is the rear tire I was thinking about.

I agree that This is too high a price for a laser alignment. Have had two of the Khumo's on the rear, Good tire, fair mileage ~ 16000 miles. Need to keep the inflation pressures below 20 psi for optimal wet weather performance.
