Guessing I need an alignment...?

Interesting. Though they're talking about the scalloping being "across the tread". Am I correct in assuming that means that they mean "across" as the full width of the tread? If so, the only area I'm seeing this happen is the outer shoulder of the tread that I've shown in the pictures. The rest of the tire appears to be fine (of course now I'm going to go double check now that the seed of doubt has been planted).

The suspension is all original as far as I know, but it doesn't feel like it's hurting or doing anything strange. I don't float on bumps or get extra bounces that I can notice while driving.

Either way I'm going to have the tires rebalanced and the alignment done because it's likely needed anyway, and I'll have the suspension checked while they're there. Hopefully I won't get bad news.

Don't waste your money if the tires are near 4-5 years old. Buy new. What are your DOT code dates?

RE: alignment... I think it's their job to find something wrong
...the question is: are the tires scalloped or victims of unusual stress ('fun' for the boss)?
