Tire Wear
Sup guys..So when I jacked up my car today to do my oil change I noticed the insides of my front tires were bald and the outsides were completely fine..
oh, by the way, I got my car lowered in April and DID NOT get an alignment..Would you suggest me rotating my tires and getting an alignment soon, or should I go out and buy some new tires?

Any time you do suspension work, it's always a good idea to get the car properly aligned. Just to be on the safe side. So if you haven't done it, I would adivse doing so soon. And if the tires are bald, then yes, get new tires too.

VRT, there's patches where it is comepletely bald, no tread, smooth as hell..and the rest of the tires [like the outer edges] are fine and have a lot of meat left..
thanks everyone for the advice

Once tires start wearing unevenly, no matter how often you rotate them or get an alignment, they are still going to exhibit the uneven wear, albeit at a slightly lesser rate. I would suggest purchasing new tires and getting an alignment. Going cheap early on only gets expensive later.

Since we're on the subject of tires and alignment, I have the same problem with uneven tire wear on the inside. I have STI struts and springs on my FXT, do I need to get any camber kits? Thanks.
