Tires out of round. Or so I'm told. It's been a recurring problem on our 95
Corolla. I frankly don't understand it. I mean I understand what it means --
but I don't understand how every blanking set of tires we get goes out of
round on this car.
And, yes, we checked everything else before springing for the new set a
couple of sets ago. Partly because I didn't accept the out of round diagnosis
at first.
But a brand new set of four and the problem goes away.
But only to return eventually.
Can it be the car that makes the tires go out of round?
Or am I the victim of a snipe hunt?
