It is exactly the same. The other 4 tyres are spreading the load when you raise one off the ground. Literally been doing it for close to a decade on various cars using these pads and have yet to have a pinch weld fold or even start to show signs of rust. The proper jack points are reinforced, if the door doesn't close after, you went full retard and jacked it from the wrong place.13% do 52% AA's gonna AA

I don't know where the money is coming from either. Obviously i understand some people got 10-20% better wages, maybe a few more people are on disability and stuff like that but it doesn't explain how every place is like Miami now. I compared it to the Will Smith song "Miami" because that's exactly how it is. Everyone just partying, spending and driving around expensive trucks, SUV's and luxurious vehicles that only rich people could afford before.

Take it to the mexican tire shop and they will do it in 15 minutes, no pesky waiting or paperwork or any of that nonsense.

Man you can't do anything because of this traffic. Just lines everywhere and people driving like it's the Daytona 500. Just drove past the car shop and the lot is overflowing with 40 cars.

definitely, seems like the majority dont have jobs.

I was off of work for 4 days a few weeks ago and let me tell you, the gym was busier early afternoon on a M-F WEEKDAY (monday-wednesday, prior thursday) than ANY time on the weekends.

last time a shop took my tires off, they cross threaded one of the bolts and I ended up having to snap the stud in order to get it off, which was a bitch to replace because it was on the hub where the emergency brake is.
cool story, but long cool story short is that a free tire rotation at a place where they hire 16 year olds and mexicans to do the work might end up costing you more time or money.Lifts:

The neighbours have an adult (probably autisitic) son.
Never seen him work a day in the 12 years I've lived here.
The parents have never worked either....and according to which an ensign might rank incomparably higher than a general, and according to which what was needed for success in the service was not effort or work, or courage, or perseverance, but only the knowledge of how to get on with those who can grant rewards, and he was himself often surprised at the rapidity of his success, and at the inability of others to understand these things

Mind = blown at this traffic. Literal traffic jams and everywhere is slammed at 11 am. How is this possible?

I only rotate when I buy two new tires. Rotating just means you will eventually buy 4 tires at once. Now if your alignment sucks then the tires could wear faster because they do not make proper contact with the road otherwise your 2 drive tires will generally wear faster and need replacement but the other 2 will last much longer. Probably nets out evenly in the end but that is how I do it.

Even Walmart wasn't busy during a week day morning/afternoon until 2021; now it takes an hour to go in and get 5 items because you're constantly dodging the 600 people walking around the store at 10am
Not to mention the self checkout system where it takes Karen 20 minutes to scan her items because she's not trained/experienced
I rarely even go there anymore
They under hire staff; had an appointment last summer to have a new set put on I brought, it was a 4 hour wait on a Tuesday morning(Ded Fkn Srs)
Went home and did it myself, always a PITA but took less time
It's like this anywhere you go in the country unless it's a small town of 1000 people; I've experience it in at least a dozen different state's metros
This has become very common, 1 in 4 people are on disability since Xiden took office
All you need is a history of depression or anxiety documented, takes about a year
They don't; a third of the population is getting free money every month & daily expenditures are being charged on credit cards
96% of people are like $15K in debt not including $45K car notes
People aren't working; unemployment has never been higher

That's essentially the point. On a FWD car the fronts will wear way faster than the rears. If you swap them when the fronts are already very worn down you'll get oversteer in a FWD car if you really slam it into the corners srs, can be a bit unnerving because you have less control Vs RWD.

Yes, from my knowledge Wal Mart wasn't really that packed before 2021. It had a rush hour like everywhere else but there weren't 200-500 cars all day like there is now. I don't even know what all these people are doing there. Sams, Costco, plazas, restaurants are all packed all day too. Target is also extremely busy. Used to be like 40 people there. Now there are hundreds.
All the metro areas are slammed man. You cannot hardly do anything anymore unless you go to the country. I mean it was bad around 2021-2022 but since then it's at least 5x worst.
These people have to be very wealthy to be out spending like this too. It isn't just 30k government money.PC specs

They're literally not wealthy, US citizens are more poor now than they were in 2005 because purchasing power has plummeted
The average salary has gone up $7K but that means nothing when you're paying 3x as much for food, gas, rent etc etc
I'm telling you everyone is using credit to purchase every day items, it's never been easier to secure a credit card; a 550 score will get you a $1000 limit right now thanks to Xiden's legislation
Once they max it out they just get a new card lmao
65%+ of car loans are already defaulting; just wait until all these mortgages get foreclosed on over the next few years

.. Because people don't have jobs & they're either leasing a car or trading it in for a higher note every 2 years; increased debt
Xiden passed legislation allowing minorities, and only minorities, to secure mortgages with basically zero credit and no money down
So cockroaches are moving out of apartments and into busy suburbs, they'll lose those houses soon though
Everyone notices it but no one talks about it because free speech has become ostracized in this turbo-Liberal clown era
I'm sure you've noticed food establishment issues too; brb 25 minutes to get through a drive-thru & then half the time your order is completely wrong

There used to be nobody out during the day srs. It was quiet as a mouse. It is so busy and chaotic out now you can't do anything. I just had to hurry back home because it was too much. There's a lot of stuff i'd like to do but it's just not possible now with all of the congestion. It's not just cars either. I mean there's hundreds of construction vehicles, large trucks with trailers hauling chit, people on bikes, pitbulls, homeless folks and all kinds of stuff everywhere now.
