Also, the same impact that delam'd the tire is likely to have bent your control arm too, so have them checked to spec. Again, with bent control arms, the car will never balance or align properly.

Yeah, it is pretty bad. I will be getting 2 new rear tyres now. I'll have a look at the control arms..

hah! Yeah, it is crazy when you make a list. But it's good to know exactly what needs fixed, and what is priority.
I replaced the handbrake sensor yesterday and it fixed the problem! 1 thing down, 9721387 more to go.
