Default Safe to drive my car to tire shop?

Hi All,

Bought a 350 about a month and a bit ago. Found out a few weeks ago that my front passenger upper control arm bushings were damaged and in turn that my alignment was ruined and causing significant wear to that tire (I have not been driving it since then). There are a few tire shops a couple miles from where im at. Would it be safe to drive it over there instead of jacking it up and removing the wheel its self? I have the means to do that if necessary.

I also have the parts ordered to fix the issue just waiting on them to arrive. This would be a temporary stop gap to get me somewhere if I need to drive the car before I fit the new parts.

Hopefully this pictures are enough though i can take more if needed

I would drive on those if needed. No belts or cords showing

Agreed- that tire will survive a few miles to the repair shop. But be prepared to replace both front tires when the repair is complete and a new alignment done..
