Outside front tire wear

Hey guys.

just looking for a quick opinion on the wear of these tires.

just a little backstory. I bought these used in Jan 2024 just to use for the winter, they were cheap. I didn’t end up taking them off in summer just cause I never got around to it and thought I was throwing them out anyways so what the point. Now I’m going to put my off road tires back on and I just noticed this outside wear.

I took it to a tire shop to get an alignment but the owner actually said it probably just from driving the soft winters in summer. And turning on them. It gets to 40 degrees here in Kelowna BC. so I didn’t get the alignment.

Also, my Toyo AT3s I had on before these have no irregular wear at all. Just wanna make sure this is the issue before I put these back on.

Do anyone have any insight on this situation?

I also included the back tire for reference.
Thank you!

 

I don't see anything that stands out to me to form a different opinion than what you were told. Rotating them often may have lessened the difference in wear. Winter tires typically have a rubber compound to remain soft during cold temps so using them in even just warmer temps is not a good idea. 40 deg. C was just ambient temp. but the road surface I would not doubt was 70-80C. If you are driving gravel roads or roads with lots of loose pebbles laying on top, I would look for something with a bit larger voids and stone ejectors. But it does sound like having a winter setup and a summer setup would be best for you. This winter's forecast for you a dedicated winter tire is probably the way to go. But then just change them come early spring.
