Question: 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? If I fix it I'll come back and update the thread.

Don't overfit one forum story to your car. If it still isn't clear on the 2024 Lexus RX, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. I'd do that before spending real money. If they can't show the line item, I assume it's hiding. A day of patience here is cheaper than a wrong part. I'm in no rush to be a hero on it.

Same neighborhood, different next step: On the 2024 Lexus RX in Los Angeles, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. Then you'll know the next fork. On “inside shoulder wearing much faster than rest,” that was the fork that mattered for me. This is from a 2024 Lexus RX in Los Angeles. That's the whole play. I'd rather look cautious in this thread than stuck later.

Asking because it changes the advice: If it still isn't clear on the 2024 Lexus RX, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. Then you'll know the next fork. If they can't show the line item, I assume it's hiding. I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.

I'd keep this practical. Verify the cheap/easy branch on the 2024 Lexus RX before a big repair or a big spend. Then you'll know the next fork. Take it or leave it — that's what I'd do. This is me being the wet blanket on purpose.

Write down what you already tried. A second data point from another 2024 Lexus RX owner helps more than a generic diagnosis. Then you'll know the next fork. Post the numbers (or the code) and people can get more specific. Might be overthinking it, but I'd rather overthink than overspend.
