The most recent tires were placed 9 months ago and already have terrible wear from both the suspension and the alignment. Whenever the car is in motion, the car does not drive as smoothly as it should and bounces lightly. There is loud noise whenever driving over speed bumps as if the tire pressure is poor. …”
