Inside shoulder wearing much faster than rest of tire

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? Any data points from owners would help.

I'd slow the salesperson down here. I would not wire money until I've seen the 1990 Ford F-150 and the title situation in person or via a trusted PPI. That's the part that actually changes the decision. Stop there until you know. If the VIN lookup is clean I'm still doing PPI.

PPI is scheduled. I'm not depositing until I see the 1990 Ford F-150 notes. Going to compare one more dealer before I decide.

If I were shopping this, i would not wire money until I've seen the 1990 Ford F-150 and the title situation in person or via a trusted PPI. Then the comparison gets honest. The universe charges extra for guessing. Doc fee is the line I'm watching.

Walked a dealership this week on the 1990 Ford F-150 and the doc fee was the tell. I'll post OTD once I have two apples-to-apples sheets.

Quick add on that: A written buyer’s order on the 1990 Ford F-150 is worth more than any verbal “we’ll make it work.” Do that before you talk monthly again. On “inside shoulder wearing much faster than rest,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Parts cannon is a personality type I try to avoid. This is the filter I use when the thread starts repeating itself. I screenshotted the quote for later.
