My tires are run at factory recommended base on door jam. Don't recall exact number but 30psi is what is stuck in my head (I am not home).

If only one tire is worn out then yes can replace that one tire with same size/brand. Lifetime alignment for 2 bills is great deal so yes I would go for it. Is that for a four wheel alignment since 2015+ stangs are independent rear suspension as well it needs to have four wheel alignment check performed.

Like i said if car was bought new and is less than 6 months old/6000 miles ford will do free alignment under warranty and if this is the case would likely replace worn tire due to incorrect alignment settings.

Yes, 4 wheel alignment, twice a year for as long as you own it. I usually do it in Spring and Fall for my other vehicles. Haven't bothered yet with the mustang but apparently it is time to have it checked out.

Yes, replace worn tire with same make model tire.
YES: Get the lifetime alignment for $200. I have life times on all of my vehicles. I get an alignment on all of my cars once a year, or right after we hit a pot hole which happens slot where I live. Good Luck

Does the car have lowering springs? Camber is off. (tire isn't sitting flat) Toe out camber will make you wander.

No, factory springs.

Its common with michellins, but if you’re only getting this on one side and only 10k miles then your alignment is definitely off. Check the toe.

Camber (alone) won’t do that but toe will.

Camber alone will do that if excessive but will also be very noticeable with tire leaning inward at the top.

My 2016 corded the inner edges of the stock fronts by 12k miles. It is the alignment. Had camber bolts installed and a less aggressive alignment. Solved wear problem and eliminated a lot of tramlining. If you do this, it will slow your car down a touch on the track.

This is what both of my inside front tires looked like after 11,000 miles. Alignment was factory alignment. Very aggressive. I have since gone much less aggressive with a slight loss of performance. I don’t track. Not a big deal. It sucked to have to dispose of the tires since the rest of the tires were in very good shape with plenty of tread life. I learn my lesson and check my tires on a monthly basis now.

Bought mine used with 14k miles from the dealer that sold it new. I was wondering why they put new tires on the front while the rears were original and still had 1/3 of the tread left.

I think I might add camber bolts and have the alignment changed a bit. Not a track car either. At $350+ per tire. I would like to get my money's worth from them.
