More fun with auto repairs (same song, second verse)

I think the bad shocks we had on the car ended up hurting the rear tires more than we realized. I happened to take a look at them when we were packing up on Friday morning and noticed that they were wearing very badly on the outside edges. One of them is close to showing cords through the rubber, so we are on the lookout for a tire shop that can get us set up with a pair of new tires. There was one tire shop where we were on Friday, but they didn't have any tires in our size. Towns that are big enough to have a tire shop are few and far between out here, so we called around a bit and found a shop near where we'll be on Monday. They happened to have a bunch of tires in stock that will work for us, so I guess we'll get to do some more car fixin' on Monday.

yay.

I'm not sure what the tires looked like when we had our shocks replaced a couple of weeks ago, but it seems to me they would have said something if they looked this bad at that time. I'm hoping that the damage to the tires was already done and what we are seeing now is abnormal wear because the tires were already damaged internally before the shocks were replaced...
