    2017 Tacoma SR5 (105k) I have newer tires on there. About 3 months ago, my tire light came on & couldn’t get a read on pressure. Thought nothing of it until yesterday when I noticed the front tires aren’t straight. when drivers side is straight w the wheel, the left points in. Ball joints/tie rod ends or could it simply be an alignment issue? I am asking due to the fact I dropped it off at a new mechanic and I don’t want to be taken for a ride!!! Also, do Tacoma's have this issue of balding in outside of tires in this gen?

    Simply put, you need an alignment.
    Should have got one before the new tires were installed.
    Thank your MADOT sponsored potholes.
