Default what alignment changes would you make

This is a 2000 vert with 23k miles I bought 9 months ago and not sure the history of the tires... whether they are original or not, dealer wasn't sure. However, they are goodyear eagle runflats so maybe original.

The tires are close to needing replacement but I've got some unusual wear.

Left front and right rear are pretty normal.

Left rear is wearing more on the inside.

Right front is wearing normally but has way more tread than the other three.

Would you realign when new rubber is put on?

You'll probably get more responses in the C5 Tech/Performance forum, not the C6 General Discussion forum.

check the camber on the LR

and the toe/caster up front.. sounds like the RF is pointing a little straighter at speed..
