We are getting ready for another trip. Our last trip ended a week and a half ago. Went from Boom Town Nv. across 80 to I-5 and south on the worst highways I have ever driven in 40 years of travel. The last 100 miles of our trip home I started to notice we had a tire hopping. Stopped several times but could find nothing.
This morning I checked tire pressures and notice the right front down a bit and its a near new tire . Found a leak at the valve stem. So ran it down to the tire shop to have them fix it. Also told the fellow working on them I had a hopper.
He fixed the right front. Rebalanced it and also pulled the other front and balanced it. Nothing bad enough for what I was feeling so we both went to the rear. We both saw the outside drivers side rear had a raised area in the center of the tread. 4 new rear tires will be here in the morning. Will be at the shop at 7:30 am to have them installed. Old tires are 3 years old and almost no wear. Really think on those bad roads I hit some thing that did the tire in.
