Leaking crank seal and choppy front tires?
I think my tech is trying to bs me into getting new tires. He rated my front as 9's and the back as 7's. I just bought a front one a year ago and listed the front ones as choppy. What does this mean?
What is a crank seal and what happens when they leak? How major is this? Thanks

i dont know what he meant about the tires, but the crank seal is easy to replace. it will leak a little oil and just get worse over time.

choppy is from no rotating you tire the tread start wearing un even and get chopy and then they start making more noise and can slip a belt or blow eventaly have you rotated them and how many mile are on them?

the inside edges are probably "feathered " from not being able to rotate from front to rear, if they're not directional swap from left to right if you worried about the wear
