Well, you're supposed to do this BEFORE it gets to the point where they
are rounded off. But give it a try, you might get more miles out of the
tires.
I'd get the alignment checked by a real alignment guy, though. Not by
the rire store bozos.

I'd first clean the blades and make sure they are not gunked up. Then
I'd get the MSDS and see what this concentrate has in it. Remember, what
keeps the stuff from freezing is methanol. It should have a little bit
of soapy stuff in there to cause the water to bead up properly and it
should have a little bit of ammonia in there to dissolve stuck-on gunk.
Too much or too little of the soapy stuff or the ammonia can make
squeaking
problems worse.
