    Think I'd better get my alignment checked pretty soon then before my tire ends up like yours did. It has a similar wear pattern to it although not quite as bad as yours got since it's on the outside and I noticed it.

    Still at least you caught the problem now and didn't go through another run flat quicker then you otherwise would first.
