was gonna sell, ended up keeping it! Alignment issues?

So a while back i posted saying I was trying to sell my 02 TLS. I could not find any buyers tho! whats up with that?? Anyway now im chillin in Les Scwab getting it alligned. I had purchased Zexius Tires with no milage guarantee Lame! The tires lasted about 14000. WEAK! then i hit a freaking curb and damaged the tire.

However the new Zexius tires have a 50K warantee. Anyway have any of you had any alignment issues or brake warpage? my steering wheel shakes while i drive especially when i brake...

That means your pads/rotors are getting close to being warped. It has nothing too do with your tires..

Odd named tires may be cheap and not last- average to good, sticky tires are about 20,000 Miles and replace- thats the tradeoff- performance or mileage
Front wheel drive cars eat tires anyway- the TL is a big heavy car- we just dont realize that

the stock- acura rotors are well know as easily warped. Average life 50,000 miles on rotors and they need replacement, you can usually change the pads once and resurface the rotors, then the next time--- it needs rotors and pads
Have the brakes checked and replaced- there are DIY threads here so anyone can do it at home! Buy good parts- they last longer and work better

An 02- hows the transmission? thats a factor is selling the car, not to mention that people who dont know how fun it is to drive---- they look at 19 mpg city/ 22-24mpg combined, and buy a camry instead
