I still remember the sinking feeling in my chest last spring. I was knelt on my damp driveway, reaching behind my front left tire to retrieve a dropped plastic clip, when my hand brushed against something incredibly rough. I looked closer. The outer tread looked perfectly deep and healthy, but the absolute inside edge of […]

I still remember the chilly Tuesday morning I hopped onto the interstate, turned up my favorite radio station, and noticed a low, rhythmic hum vibrating through my floorboards. It sounded like a prop plane was tailing my rear bumper. At first, I ignored it. I figured it was just rough asphalt or maybe a slightly […]

I was cruising down the highway, minding my own business, when I realized my knuckles were white and my arms were crossed. The car was tracking perfectly straight, but my steering wheel was cocked at a ridiculous 11 o’clock angle. It’s an unsettling, maddening sensation. You start doubting your own eyes.

It sounded like I was constantly driving on a cheese grater or a very rough patch of asphalt. I convinced myself it was just the budget tires I’d picked up a month prior. I even bragged […]

It was a brisk Tuesday morning, the kind where you can see your breath and your car seems to groan just thinking about the commute. I hopped in my sedan, ready to conquer the day, only to be greeted by that dreaded orange “low tire pressure” horseshoe on the dash. I’d just filled them up […]
