Good way to determine if you need new tires is the penny test. Although from your pics it looks like you have uneven wear and need a camber adjustment.

Yes, you need new tires, and I would have the alignment checked because you seem to be wearing the inside of the tire faster than the outside. Is your car lowered? If yes, was an alignment done when you lowered the car?

All stock . Is it because I over inflated ? Been running 38psi front for a longtime .

If it was because of over inflation, I would expect the inside and outside edges to show less wear and the center to show more wear. From the photos, it looks like the outside shows less wear and the inside shows more. I’m not a tire expert either, but I think your problem lies with the alignment, not the pressure.

Alright and thanks. I think alignment warranty is 12 mo and 10k miles . Time to bug the dealer !

Save money to get better wheels.
How so? Are the Verde Ax cheap? I really like them and didn’t really want to go over that price point. I did really like the BM13 wheels too though, those were just extremely pricey.

If you don’t know why those wheels are considered cheap, you’re not ready to leave the stock setup.
