During the time I was driving my Syncro shortly after the conversion and then after my shoulder surgery I didn't pay enough attention to maintenance and didn't rotate the tires and didn't notice that I was having uneven wear on the two tires on the front. Now both of them are uneven worn with greater wear on the outside. I need to get the alignment redone and I think I need two more tires. However, my three evenly worn tires all have only 10-11 / 32 of tread left and it seems like two new ones at 16/32 of tread would be too much inequality in rolling circumference for the VC. I know that others have sometimes failed to do regular rotations and ended up having to buy a whole new set of tires. I am trying to avoid this for right now. So, does anybody out there who had to buy a new set of 5 have has 2 good, yet partially worn matching tires with the same 10-11 mm of tread left on them and who would be willing to sell them? I might buy 3 if you had them and have one as a backup. Sam -- Samuel L.
