This can't be good (Tire Issue)
So I put the LGT up on the lift for an oil change and tire rotation...
This is the left front:
The inside shoulder is lower than the rest of the tire as if it's been rubbing on something for quite some time. I'm assuming it's a strut issue? We've got 900 miles left on the bumper to bumper so I'm taking it in tomorrow morning.
It's a damn good thing I checked it because I don't think this would have lasted much longer:
I'll put the spare up front for now.

Eep, that's nuts. You shouldn't be anywhere near the strut in the front, especially with that wheel setup. That almost looks like the wear I had on my inner shoulder when my tie rod got sloppy and I had "dynamic" toe.

Autowest Subaru cannot find anything wrong with the car. 
I'm going to take it for an alignment and new tires tomorrow and hopefully that will fix it.
They tried to tell me it was because my tires are wider than stock (a whopping 10mm/0.39"). To which I replied, why did this start in the last 5K if the tires had been on for 30K???
Ugh.
