2023 Kia Telluride — inside shoulder worn out while outside looks fine

TowTraveler350Community StarterJun 12, 20262023 Kia Telluride SX PrestigeAtlanta
2023 Kia Telluride SX Prestige, about 26,000 miles. The tires looked okay until I checked the inner shoulder, which is much more worn. The car is slightly lowered. What alignment measurements matter most if I want to stop eating tires? Mostly looking for the right next step.

One thing that mattered for me: in Atlanta, I care more about the thing I will notice every day than the spec-sheet extra.

I would start here: write down what you already tested so the next step is not a repeat.

If it were mine, I would verify the cheap/easy branch on the 2023 Kia Telluride before committing to a big repair.

Fair, but in Atlanta, I care more about the thing I will notice every day than the spec-sheet extra.
