The Subaru needed a new tire up front. I’ve suspected that it needs some alignment work for a while, and the right-front tire had worn very strangely.

So yesterday we drove over to Costco to get a new tire for the car. I thought that it’d be one tire, in and out.

But it turns out that the alignment problem affects the entire right side of the car, as the right-rear tire (which was going to be rotated to the front) had some serious sidewall bubbling on the inside bias, out of typical view. Good thing that was caught before something serious happened!

So $150 later, the Subaru has two new tires, both in the rear. The former left-rear tire is now right-front, and I’m gonna schedule some alignment work soon.
