It's Alive!

I did have some uneven wear on my last set of tires. I attributed it to the
car being out of alignment. I haven't noticed any uneven wear on the new
tires but I haven't really driven on them long enough to show much. I
suppose it's not a bad idea to get them rotated and balanced though.
