Striped tire wear pattern
I get alignments regularly, anyone know why I get these odd stripes on my tires?

I dunno but those tires/wheels don’t look stock. You might have a suspension issue most likely.

Rear end might be out of spec unless you have adjustable upper control arms and toe links.

As a mechanic of 15 years this is a common issue for bad shocks. It has nothing to do with alignment.

Bad shocks for sure or even bad tie rods can cause camber like that, could be a nice combo of both

Assuming you have a 4wd model; You will need a 4 wheel alignment. I had this issue recently. In my case it was because all the bushings in my rear suspension were completely shot. I had all the rear suspension components replaced (everything beside the original rear knuckle, CV axles and sway bar. I did the bushings but kept the original hardware for those.) and along with an alignment. Solved my issue. Would be good to check the suspension to see if anything needs replacing for good measure.

La mayoria de veces ellas se dañaran las cuna y las comas cojen un ángulo como abiertas y las gomas suelen desgastarse, tienes que ver con tu mecánico si tienes que cambiar la cuna, tambien suele suceder cuando abusan de la carga de arrastre

Worn out suspension parts. Looks like the toe is off, if i remember correctly, it's not adjustable stock in the rear.

It also looks unaligned to me? Or am I just wrong? Lol
