This is a rear tire. All the leading edges of every tread block and sipe are chewed all to hell.
Someone definitely did some burnouts, and the service manager would definitely be hearing from me.

And I'd have that conversation in person with the tires as-is. They should replace them, or compensate you to do so.

Speaking of staying warm, furnace quit sometime this morning. It didn't get no lower than 60 in the house, 22 outside. Luckily it was an easy fix, - ceramic igniter cracked, had one of those on hand. First it was others having appliance problems , now me! Must be something in the air.....yea, Jack Frost.

Didn't know you needed a mask to work on appliances, Brew. You brought home the bug.

Dang White, I thought for sure you and Frankie were going to make your debut on MORR last night. Matt said they were off to rescue a Mustang stuck in the sand. Thought right away, who would drive a Stang in the sand without ulterior motives.....gotta be Frankie. Disappointed, I guess there are those few....he didn't get far lol.

It's right at the beginning, -

Thats what I was thinking too. I do know the owner and manager of the dealership and they are good people so I called them direct and had a real conversation about how unhappy I was with the situation. I have not heard back from them yet but I will be making time tomorrow to get by there so they can feel how chopped up they are in person.

I was going to let them do my power steering pump before it becomes more than a whine, but now that will be tackled at home.
