Then, when she was in for the oil change last week they told me they were almost worn out on the inside, wearing unevenly due to the ride height being lowered.
Can someone please explain what this means to this newbie?
It means that the tire is not sitting on the whole tire face evenly, camber is out due to lowering. The wheel points inward at the top.
You have to have the camber correct for even wear among other settings.
