I'm an idiot and need help
I'm an idiot and need help
Let's first establish that I'm an idiot, and take my car for granted/treat it like crap.
Having said that, I ran the stock Yoko's into the ground. Over 14k on the set, with the last 4k of that being with questionable alignment. Regardless of why, my fronts are completely shot.
When they are hot I was able to make it back today from work, but pulling out just a few minutes ago to head out for the night they were making a horrible groaning noise up front when I was turning, at any speed. I got out and it looks like they're both running real low on air, borderline flats.
I've got a new set of tires coming tomorrow or Wednesday, but they're being delivered to a shop near work, about 20 mins away. Now the question is, do I try and fill them up with air and limp up there once the tires arrive? Is it possible that both tires are flat? Or should I take the two fronts off and bring them up to the shop ahead of time?
Any thoughts are appreciated, minus flames of course.

is the same shop putting the new tires on that day?
if so i would go ahead and limp over there, i had a nail in my left back tire for a couple days and the low tire pressure warning was on, i just kept at a decent speed to build some pressure on the way to the tire shop.
just my 2 cents

I would fill up the tires to about 5 or 10 psi less than your normal pressure, then when you get to the shop, have them check the front end for other problems it is possible you have a bad tie rod end or a bad wheel bearing, the most common cause of your problem would be out of camber so have them check the alignment!
Lip around the rims is already pretty messed up, downtown Atlanta daily driver will do that to you. I'm thinking about shooting some fixaflat into each one, then picking up an air compresser and pumping them back up, like twitch said.
Then I'll brave the drive and see how it goes.
