So I just replaced all 4 tires after blowing two and having the other two out of the tread depth parameters. My new issue is a couple small bends on the two rims that the tires that hit the pothole. The tires balance, the car is aligned, but I have some shimmy (now in the ass-end(save the jokes)) when I get up to speed.
My question is like the tread depths, will the shimmy have any effect on my drivetrain or AWD system? I log about 300 m/week, mostly back roads. The tire shop offers wheel straightening for $100/ tire but its 50/50 success rate and the could still crack the rim. I found some reconditioned rims for $200/wheel. Can I live with the shimmy or will that cause just as much damage?
