Uneven tire wear problem
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 was just at the dealership today and they showed that my front left tire is getting worn bad on the inside of the front driver side. Is this what is causing my car to pull to the right so badly? (Have had 3 alignments in the year all showing within acceptable degree range).
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?
