but my local Toyota/Scion dealership made the "Dealerships to AVOID in the SE" thread, so I got that going for me, which is nice.
There is Forged Performance and Top Speed Motorsports. Not sure how far away they are from you and I haven't been in contact with them for a long time though. Good luck!

The stock tires peel like that when they are worn to the wear bars and then get overheated. Doing something like drifting around a traffic circle will produce that exact wear pattern on the inside edge of the outside tire. Any chance you did some right hand donuts in the last few weeks?

about 120 miles, and 140 miles respectively. I appreciate the help, I know there are probably plenty of good places in/around Atlanta. And maybe I am just lazy but Atl seems like a long drive for basic maintenance on stock suspension.

no donuts, but It did rain a few weeks ago, and I got a good 3 second slide out of a right hand 90° turn. But I will take the tire peel to heart. From the sound of all the advice I am getting, (which I appreciate) I shouldn't have anything to worry about.
