Erik the tard
Over the past month and a half, I've had this annoyingly increasing noise/vibration coming from the left rear tire area that corresponds to speed. I've given the tread a glance a few times after parking to see if the tire's just getting worn, but haven't seen any problems with it. Ok, so some sort of axle or support issue. Fine, great, time to dish out a couple hundred, I figure. I get it to my mechanic yesterday, he calls me back a little while later and explains that not only is the tire more than a little worn but there are entire chunks of rubber missing from it - He is mind boggled trying to figure out why it didn't blow up violently on me any of the NUMBER of times I drove 60+ mph over the past several weeks.
I'm glad all it took was a little labor charge to figure that one out instead of explosions and crash course adventures. But damn! I feel like such a tard for not seeing the decaying tire in any stage of its degredation. Note to self: If the car makes a new noise, something is wrong! :)
