I have been running 38 front and 32 rear and they are Conti Extreme Contacts. I have about 45k miles on them.

This morning I took the belt sander to them. I was surprised at how well it worked. Nice and quiet now. Check my locker for some pictures.

I only get wheel alignment at one place. They last time a few weeks ago they cross threaded a stud! I broke it taking it off. I even asked them to "Hand Torque" the lugs. I am pissed about this. I hope they do not give me a hard time about replacing it for no charge. As ususal a few other lugs had to come off with the 3 foot cheater bar.

Anyway I am going to have a talk with them about wheel alignment. The cupping is always on the inside of the tire. Someone else here has said it is from braking while cornering. That was about 2years ago when I wore out the first set.
