Anyone else: Inside shoulder wearing much faster than rest of tire

EuroGarage71Community StarterJan 7, 20262013 Infiniti G37 xSMichigan
2013 Infiniti G37 xS, about 151,000 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? Appreciate any ideas on what to check first.

Don't overfit one forum story to your car. If it still isn't clear on the 2013 Infiniti G37, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. I'd do that before spending real money. This is from a 2013 Infiniti G37 in Michigan with 151,000 miles. Keep sale price, fees, and rate as three different conversations. I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.

Owner notes beat generic advice here. On the 2013 Infiniti G37 in Michigan, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. That's where I'd start. On “inside shoulder wearing much faster than rest,” that was the fork that mattered for me. This is from a 2013 Infiniti G37 in Michigan with 151,000 miles. Time, temperature, and whether it's in gear are the notes that actually help a shop. I'd rather look cautious in this thread than stuck later.

I'd keep this practical. Verify the cheap/easy branch on the 2013 Infiniti G37 before a big repair or a big spend. That's where I'd start. Run the total, not the monthly, before you commit. This is me being the wet blanket on purpose.

Write down what you already tried. A second data point from another 2013 Infiniti G37 owner helps more than a generic diagnosis. I'd do that before spending real money. Time, temperature, and whether it's in gear are the notes that actually help a shop. Might be overthinking it, but I'd rather overthink than overspend.

I parked the 2013 Infiniti G37 and wrote down what I already tested so I'm not repeating myself. If this is nothing, great. I want that in data.
