Hi,
My tire is balding on the passanger side. It is balding on the outside and the center of the tire looks like it is scraping on the center o tire. When I drive the car for about a half hour it feels like the transmission is kicking when it changes gear. A riend drove it and he told me it could be a bushing, I pulled the tire out and the bushings look to be ok. Then I was thinking that it could be the motor mounts? I have been alternating the tires and it does it only t o the same tire. Thank you or your help.

Have you had the alignment checked?
