Ok
A mechanic took me car for drive ive been worried about a engine vibration/grind but he observed that yes although the engine has a grind its normal for its age and engine is generally healthly.
Instead he observed on a drive that a vibration is coming up through the seats and felt in cab is actually tyres or driveline or tailshaft...start there
So i took the 2 front off put rears on the front, car already much quieter. I have my 15 inch spare on rear and the worst tyre is now in boot. The 15 inch is now the noisier of all tyres....such as a rumble coming from the back
This tyre although tread left looks hammered like little flat spots and chunks.
I inflate my tyres to 38psi am i over doing it
I know i need alignment cos let go of the wheel and car starts heading sideways lol (kindof)
