Once again, I'm glad you figured this out. Just remember that tires will now wear (if all alignment is correct), evenly on the surface, so the worn edge will continue to deteriorate as well as the regular wear on the rest of the tire. Don't let this confuse you with the outer edge still having a problem. Once a tire begins to wear wrong, there is no turning back. If however, you were to put new tires on the car, you should get symmetrical wear.
