Default Slight Cupping on Inside @ 17k Miles

Was wondering if it was still worth getting tires balanced at this point in the life of these tires. Tread looks like it may go another 10-15k. Input appreciated...

If it rides smooth don't mess with it . If tires are cupped have the alignment checked .cupped tires can cause you to have a vibration and noise

Send a request to GM Junkie he can give you a spec.on alignment.

You can almost double the life of your tires.

My GYRF's did the same thing, I am lucky I caught it early. Something hidden away, on the inside. You don't see it everyday, Hell, you don't usually even check for it, yet it happens.

TIRE WEAR !
