2021 Mazda CX-5 Turbo — inside shoulder wearing much faster than rest of tire

BoxerGeekCommunity StarterJun 18, 20262021 Mazda CX-5 TurboLos Angeles
2021 Mazda CX-5 Turbo, about 96,000 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?

Write down what you already tried. A second data point from another 2021 Mazda CX-5 owner helps more than a generic diagnosis. Then you'll know the next fork. Run the total, not the monthly, before you commit. I'd rather be boring and correct. Might be overthinking it, but I'd rather overthink than overspend.

Fair point. Counterpoint: If it still isn't clear on the 2021 Mazda CX-5, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. That's where I'd start. Parts cannon is a personality type I try to avoid. I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.

Don't overfit one forum story to your car. If it still isn't clear on the 2021 Mazda CX-5, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. I'd do that before spending real money. If it doesn't change the out-the-door or the repair estimate, it's noise. I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.
