Problem with the Continentals

My C has just over 13,000 miles on it and I just noticed that the tires are "cupping" very bad. (Tires have been rotated twice) So far I have not noticed any bouncing or vibration in the steering wheel, but they are really getting bad and I am sure it is only a matter of time. Anyone else with this problem?

No it has not been aligned...I have had other cars/tires and driven over 20-30,000 miles before aligning them...What do you think?

Yes, it sounds like you are powerless over your right foot and your ECU has become unmanageable.

But there is hope for you. Somewhere close by, is a chapter of H.A.

You will find good people at Hemis Anonymous who understand your problem.

If you are truly ready, my son, you can conquer your addiction.

Bald tires will be a thing of the past.
