Since your tyres is 2 years already,no need to rotate liao.

1st must change tyres(4pcs)

then go for alinement if you think is necessary cos uneven wear on your left side.

Normally tyre rotation should be done every 6 months or at least 9 months..after i use for 1 1/2 years +/- i throw.Other things can save tyre better not.

I guess yours is 16" or 17",$1000 should be enough.

Yes, tyre dont save as it SAVE your life.

Some members here got lobang for good tyre....18" 235 about $300 only....

Remember to do your aligment immediately after tyre change.

wah!!!!! so cheap ah? is it a group buy?

btw, is it really neccessary to do aligment immediately after changing all 4 tyres?

This is certainly cause by your wheel alignment. This happen to me before, the left tyre was completely bald but the right is still ok. Found out later that my wife hit a kerb few months back and it affected the alignment of the ride. As what some bros here recommand get all 4 tyres changed and pay a bit more to do the high speed wheel alignment.

Did you check your right side tyre, especailly the inner side, it should had gone bald too.

AD does a horrible job at servicing cars and doing alignment checks and what not. Go to an external workshop. The one near mbm is good.

* sorry as i amended some words to 'AD' for you to prevent complication.

when i had my W211, my left rear tire went bald on the extreme left (the right side no issue) .. the other 3 tires were fine too ... went to 2 different alignments shops and both confirmed alignment is fine ...

one of them mentioned that sometimes for tire production, some tires are 'faulty' and hence could result in what I have .. they have seen a few cases ... I was on Hankook K104 when it happened ...

the Continental I had previously had no such problem ...
