If you're getting bad wear on the front tires... - 7/24/2006 9:35:20 AM    74scamp   Posts: 1236 Joined: 1/25/2006 From: Los Lunas, ,NM Status: offline Have the alignment checked. I had been having some major issues with the handling of my R/T - hard to keep it straight, especially on bumpy or rolling bumps. I took it to my dealer and they said all was well with the alignment. Took it to the Ford dealership where my son works. They put it on their machine and the front end was toed in quite a bit, which explains a lot of what I was experiencing. Also, the caster was out some. Now, the car is much nicer to drive - straight and true. dave Post #: 1

Do the RT's in the Norht America come with the Conti's.  I find it truly remarkable that a car of this caliber has only H rated tires. (in reply to 74scamp) Post #: 4

Called Continental and got $75.00 credit per tire on a new pair or replace with Continental ContiProContact or General Altimax HP. I went with the General Altimax HP. They run quiet and smooth.
