1968 Ford Mustang Fastback — inside shoulder wearing much faster than rest of tire

1968 Ford Mustang Fastback, about 1,200 miles. Front tires look fine from the outside but the inner shoulders are nearly done. Car is lowered a little. I'd rather fix the alignment than just keep buying tires—what measurements should I ask the shop for besides toe? I'm in DMV / Maryland. Trying to diagnose before I book a shop.

Write down what you already tried. A second data point from another 1968 Ford Mustang owner helps more than a generic diagnosis. Then you'll know the next fork. That's the whole play. This is the version I'd tell a friend.

I parked the 1968 Ford Mustang and wrote down what I already tested so I'm not repeating myself. I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.

Owner notes beat generic advice here. On the 1968 Ford Mustang in DMV / Maryland, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. I'd do that before spending real money. On “inside shoulder wearing much faster than rest,” that was the fork that mattered for me. A shop burned me once by skipping that step. If your situation is the opposite, ignore me. Wrote this up on my lunch break.
