I did that once. Mine only had a few thousand miles on them though...



Running with anything more than 0 toe will do that.

I would recommend new tires. otherwise, this happens when you hit a big puddle:

Grandma??? definitely not but I made the dealer align the car prior to taking delivery. The tires have worn very even with air pressure checks and rotation. They were really worn out about 5k ago. I have been abusing them on purpose....

Looks like you have a good alignment the way those are worn.

The picture makes it look weird cause of the angle. The tread is worn flat but the inside is abused from the veterans on-ramp high speed right turn.......

Outside edges of the driver side and inside edges of the passenger side
