I'll check it tomorrow, both rears are kumho but am sure never got em changed at the same time, had weird tire wear issues....just recently had all sorts of rear suspension work done etc and neither the mechanic or alignment shop commented on condition of sidewall. Perphas just swapping it out will alleviate risk anyhow, will i need a re-alignment again though you think if i change rear tire
