Bad tire wear & Video
Look at this mess! These tires only have about 6,000 miles on them. Looks like i'll be payin a visit to the place that did the work. Btw, this is the front tire, wearing on the inside. The rear tires are wearing evenly.
Good
BAD!!!!
And here is a video of the tire rotating. You can see that there is a flat looking spot while its rotating. Is this acceptable, or what? I dont think it shows up quite as much in the video, but it might.

by looking straight at a car/truck its a bit difficut as there is many factors, they could be aligned perfectly but a picture cant tell u everything. just get the thing aligned, ask them to see the screen of the camber/toe. all that ****, make sure there all in spec, they will turn green if good, if not there red.

and have you rotated them at all? you really should rotate them every 3-4K

this is tire chop
the inside edge.
caused from bad shocks not alignment!
if it had bad camber the inside or outside edge would be worn more then the middle, again no choping.
total toe could cause a problem like this but you would also have a pull.
you cant just look at it and say "its off"!
nobodys eyes are that good, period.
if in dought have a shop set it up on a alignment rack and dubble check it for you, if all measurements are in spec or even on the edge of being in spec then rotate the rears straight forward to the front and cross the fronts to the rear and get a set of good shocks.
