      Both your front and rear passenger side tires are on backwards.

        The damage was to the front right fender area, I believe the guy ended up respraying alot of the left side of the car since he pulled a bunch of other dents and dings that I had on that side while he was at it. The hood was resprayed and blended as well and new pinstriping applied to the side of the car

        so, for the most part the side of the car you're seeing in the last pic is mostly new paint as far as i know :)

            the tread pattern shows that your tires were mounted backwards or you rotated them wrong. Look at the side of your tires and find the rotational direction arrow. You'll see that they are pointing in the wrong direction. Be careful in the rain if you leave your tires like that.

                Wow what the fuck, i'm amazed no one noticed that yet. I've been running these tires for a year and a half or so

                Maybe thats how I lost control in the wet and got in my accident back in december :(

                I'm getting new tires mounted soon, damn.

                  if your driver's side tires are mounted the same way, just swap the left side wheels to the right and vice versa. Problem solved.

                    Just checked the side of the tires.

                    Everything looks fine? According to what you're saying the tires are mounted fine by going from the sidewall information..

                      are you sure?

                      the way they are mounted, when you are traveling forward, the upside down "V" pattern will draw water to the center of the tire.

                      The pattern should look like a "V" to draw water to the sides and away from the tire.

                        Nevermind, i'm a tard, you're right they are mounted backwards

                        the driver side the car is fine, the passenger side is completley fucked.

                          Kill those install monkeys at Les Schwab. That is prob why you lost control in the rain.
