My rear tires both are worn from inside .
They make a loud noise while riding.
Discount tire told me to replace the shock first then tires.
Former owner bought 2 front tires .
Im wondering if the rear tires were up front before been put in the rear.
I did a wheel alignment and its fine .
The rear tires are 7 years old tires...so they could have been in the rear all that time???
I tried to test the rear shock by pushing on the rear bumper but honestly cant see anything wrong...How do I make sure that the rear shock are really bad ?

Push the car (from the bumper- be careful) or the top- if it jumps up and down like a bouncing ball the shocks are bad.

I'm guessing you can go under and inspect with a flash light how worn they are. If they are brittle and leaking then perhaps they need changing. If not idk I'm sorry My .2 cents

Well, with 7 year old tires, I guess it's time to replace them. Alignment, shock test, you've done everything I can think of- unless they're just cheap tires. Thumbs up 👍 on it.

Yes..I always buy super cheap tires on ALL my cars never had any problems ....
