Default tire wearing...

I got new tires, and an alignment. The people told me I needed an alignment really bad and a new wheel bearing, so whoever I bought this car from obviously hit something. (and there was some repair done to the Y Pipe which also makes me think they hit something) Like I said, I got an alignment and my left tire on the outside is starting to wear down already. What else can this be?

Do accept the ultra wide in warranty spec but strive for the nominal setting.

Replace what ever is necessary to achieve nominal [normal] numbers.

I would think that either the idiots that did your alignment did a shitty job, or it's no longer in alignment.

I just changed my rears yesterday after almost 1 year of riding on 275/35/19 Toyos. And here's what they looked like

Sounds like excessive camber to me.

They could have messed up your ball joint or control arm bushing when they realigned you. That would cause your wheel to move out of perpendicular.

I'd get it checked right away, esp. if it's the ball joint.
