It would a bit easier to see the tread wear if you used a penny and put Lincoln's head in the tread ("universal" method of showing tread depth).

pictures are on the first page....

your wheel balance is off, check to make sure the balance is still good on front wheels. i have one tire with really bad wear due to driving around with a slightly bad balance.

rotate back tires to front to confirm.

if you just had an allignment and havent hit curbs or big pot holes. your toe should be fine.

My wheel balance is perfect, steering wheel doesn't vibrate at all(BMW on road balance machine is the best)

I can rotate tires only on one side since they are directional.
Oh and here are the thread sizes
Front Left Front Right
2.5/32 5/32

Rear Left Rear Right
6.5/32 5/32

Yeah I know, that's why I said to use a penny. You could've at least put Washington's head in the same position each time so we could see the "measurement" better.

i just looked at the words "united states of america" and you can pretty much see the difference in depth between the two pics. its minimal, but theres a slight difference. the center tread (2nd pic) is definitely more worn than the outer tread (1st pic).

tho, im not saying youre wrong either, just trying to help out with whats given.

Well, I'm just picking nits. :)

At least they are giving you a 75% credit. When I shopped for tires, the generals were around $90. But you're are 18's whereas mine were 15's, so disregard. :tumbleweed:
