I replaced the tie rods and the hubs. the tire place i have to replace these tires now i cant wait. the tread does not look half bad but the shoulders are well worn. should i replace them or can i wait? they are 60k mile tires but i only have about 35 on them.

    doesnt mean that the car doesnt need an alignment. it looks like youre running excessive camber and the tires are wearing horribly wrong.

    it looks like an exact picture of my wheels... go to tire shop and start with a tire alignment. And stop taking turns to fast. I don't anymore and got a tire alignment and stopped driving like a kid and no side wear =)

    It looks fine to me, normal wear. Stop taking corners and you’ll make the 60K.
    A little more pressure might help, I’d bet a 20 spot you run 30 psi normally. Try about 32 psi cold.
