Default Re: Crossfire Tire Pressure

Questions:

- Why did my one tire wear out so quickly -
Alignment. Your new tire will wear the same if I am correct.

- Tire valve caps fusing to stems seems a little weird since they came on the car?
Taking them off now and then when checking the tire pressure should solve this. A little oil would not hurt as mentioned above. They are not just bare aluminum, they are treated. Salted roads will do this.

- If I had run with 42 lbs in the rears would that have extended my original tire life?
No, it would probably have worn out the center of the tread first.
