Provided his mechanic with 30 years of service knows what he's doing, I would put my bet on the tires.

I have pics of two different sets of tires that wore the same exact way. I just don't know how to post them!! Grrrrr...

The tires wear from the inside out on both sides. Your pic of an over-inflated tire is the best example. However, that many coincidences would be impossible, as each set was installed by different tire stores.
