Vibration issue solved

just figured out my vibration issue.

Yep, that could definitely cause a little vibration. Looks like it scratched your paint a little too.

Shifted belt, see it all the time, but usually have to diag off the car.

Yes it did some minor damage.I was cruising down the freeway at 65.I was able to stop safe and quick but the tire was whacking things good.

Thats lame. I had the tread come off one tire on my civic kinda like that, so i put my winter tires on a touch early. Come springtime the other 3 had the tread separate just sitting over the winter! I had always had vibration issues with those tires, new ones fixed it. I would carefully inspect your other tires if their the same.

Just as I thought. Sounds like cheap Chinese stuff. Solution: buy good tires.

Worse yet i picd them up used at a yard sale for 25 bucks for the set lol.They looked great without sidewall cracks and very good tread. Now in perfect hindsight, penny wise and pound foolish.

Well, for me those were the tires that came with my civic when i bought it, i had no reason to change them. On my festiva i bought a new set of tires one time. A week after i bought it i got 2 tires installed at walmart for $200. They lasted 32,000km (20,000mi) and were down to the wires. Ive gotten all the rest of my tires from the junkyard, many of them very old and some cracked. Gone over 200,000km on 12in junkyard tires and never had an issue with them. Run a couple right down to the second set of wires and none ever came apart. Just bad luck for you i guess.

Vibration issue solved

Not something i recommend to do, just something i have done. Idea at the time was to run the car as cheap as possible. I was waiting for it to die. Was busy and the jy is out of the way. Not something i would do now, this was years ago. I drove a ton of gravel roads, commuted an hour each way to work down backroads where you might meet 5 other people an hour. Tires wore out fast then, wear bars to wires was like 2 months. Was working 6 days a week and gone 14hrs if you include the commute, so tire and oil changes come up on you fast. Im smarter now, commute a super busy highway, dont drive gravel and my wheel alignment is better, so i dont let that happen anymore.
That was one of my worst ones, stupid looking back now, but my only point was that i had several 15 year old cheap tires do this and not come apart, yet these imove tires separated the tread while there was still half of it left just sitting over winter.
