A year after I purchased my '99 mystique through carmax, i finnaly got a flat tire today. I never noticed before, but the rear tires are a different namebrand than of the front set. When i removed the rear, passenger side tire to replace it, I noticed that there was excessive wear on the inner sidewall of the tire. The wear was consistent with a shiny spot on the strut. Is there any obvious reason for this? Prior to this flat, the car would always shake around 65 mph. Now, and I know it is not intended for these speeds but I was curious, I drove the spare tire at that speed and there was almost no shaking. I ordered four new tires through tire rack, but I would still like to know what caused the tire to rub against the strut. The tire size is 205/60/15 on a factory mystique wheel and the suspension is completely stock, nothing to this car has been altered since I purchased it.
