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

CleanMechanicishCommunity StarterJan 29, 20262022 Tesla Model 3 Long RangeSan Diego

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?

Hard-won lesson from my last deal: Call your insurer in San Diego before you fall in love with the 2022 Tesla Model 3. If they balk, that's your answer. On “inside shoulder wearing much faster than rest,” that was the fork that mattered for me. The universe charges extra for guessing. That's my plan before I call anyone.
