Most tire shops may not be willing to flip your tires at the current state they are in. It looks pretty worn but you can still try. I ran into that issue a couple times when I was not paying attention to the inner tread wear. Now I just buy cheap tires and do not worry about flipping.

I had my car lowered about a year ago using F-Sport springs, nothing else. He said that the dealer SHOULD have told me to get a Camber Kit installed to correct this problem. He had recommended me calling the dealer that installed these and b1tching at the service manager for them not telling me.

Looks like I need to replace that tire (as well as the other side even though not nearly as affected). Should I get both front tires replaced, or just the one that is affected? Also, is this most likely the culprit of this problem, and if so how much should I spend TOPS to fix it?
