I think my car must have come from the dealer like this brand new, because I have not even hit one pot hole yet since I've had the car (knocking on wood). Unfortunately I'll be paying for these tires out of my pocket.
-4 inches of toe how is that possible on a new car? without a control arm being bent or excentric maxxed out? you would be able to see that extreme toe in just by looking at it. and the car should have went down the block dog tracking like a sob. You sure it wasnt camber not toe? these civs have -1.5 camber out of the box. anyway i highly suggest goodyear assurance triple treads put em on my car the second day i had it, car drives so much nicer compared to the bridgestones.
