Arrow Your Feedback is Much Appreciated

So lately my girlfriend has been working a lot of late shifts, and for the past couple of months she has been carpooling with a male co-worker. At first I didn't mind in case she has car trouble or something like that, but it seems they have become a little bit more than friends. You know the scenario, the phone calls that hang up, she starts wearing nice clothes to work and talking about him all the time then abruptly stops leaving an uncomfortable silence.

If I'm out in the garage when she gets home (usually after midnight) he just drops her off and leaves, but if the lights are off in the garage and I'm in the house (they think I'm sleeping) they sit out in the car for like twenty minutes.

I asked her once what they were doing, and she said
"Just talking" ....whatever. So last night I decided to see whats really going on out there. So I leave the garage door open ,and turn off all the lights.
About the time she usually gets home,I go out in the garage and wait.. In a few minutes, his car pulls into my driveway, and I'm hiding behind my Nissan. When his headlights shine through my garage and onto the truck, I see something that I just couldn't believe. The front camber is severely wearing my front tires. Now i have to get new tires, should i get the Toyos or Pirelli?

I think you have much bigger issues than your tires. If the front camber is severely wearing your front tires replacing the tires isn't really going to help. You have to get to the root of the issue and fix that. Only then will you be able to replace your tires and move on.

That's tragic. I wouldn't be able to sleep if that happened to me.






Get the Pirellis.

I say get the Pirellis, but seriously, you need to pay more attention to your Nissan.
