ok ive been working on the numerous little issues that this car has.first the tires all seem to be fairly used,i had to replace the front passenger tire immediately because it had a thick cut into the sidewall(you could see the threads)the replacement was a very used tire,well worn.in fact all the tires appear to be different brands and treads.today the check tire pressure came on so i stopped to get air.the front tires had like 36 in them,the two back ones had about 25.i think i read that the tire pressure should be around 30-34.if thats the case the front ones were over inflated and the back ones way underinflated.to add i tried to add air to the back tires,one was impossible to put air into,it was like the air stem was defective.the other tire had no problem.also to add i went earlier in the week i went to get an alignment because i had replaced the tie rods.the shop could not align totally and determined the front tires were so different and worn.now the other thing is the struts.i wanted to replace them because the car has 210k miles and looks like struts were never replaced.mechanic friend showed me that with good struts when you push down on car,should bounce 1 and half times,mine kinda one bounced and settled.plus the shop had also said that the back strut was leaking some.ok so here is my main problem i really need to replace those tires with some good new ones,but ive been told with old or bad struts it will just damage the tires and that by the time i get the struts i will have to replace the tires again.my cash flow is soooo limited at the moment.any thoughts or suggestions?
