My 11 JSW just got its first oil change.
When it was on the lift I noticed some pretty drastic wear to the inside of both rear tires.
When I bought the car, a few months and 11K miles ago, the tires looked close to new.
My mechanic (Mike from 413 auto, who I found here) said it could just be a lack of rotation. Not sure I buy that explanation.
Any ideas?
One thing to note, is that I regularly carry a heavy work part, about 180 lbs. I carry it in the rear of the car. That's not a ton of weight, but it is all right in the ass.
Fortunately, I don't carry it that often, and when I do again, I will push it as far forward as possible. Might as well just pull the rear seat bottoms out so I can get it all the way forward.
