General Altima’s Tires

WTF does "the tires are scalped" mean anyway? Could any less of an automotive word be used to describe that?

And you really answered the fist question, didn't you?

When was the car aligned LAST? Maybe that will get a specific enough answer. General was bought out by Continental a little while back and their quality has actually improved greatly. Were I to have the "stinkeye" whatever the hell that is for anything, it sure as hell wouldn't be the tires.....but the total lack of experience.
The car received an alignment 2 years ago and at the time I had the idler arm replaced. The guys who just replaced my tires are telling me that I need a new idler arm.
