One bad tire

The attached has a variety of “charts” on how to read tire wear. If you can match your wear up to one of the images, at least you’ll have something to discuss with the tech. DO NOT, however, attempt to diagnose the cause for him. Just use the images to make you a bit more knowledgable for a more productive discussion.
