when you measure tread depth, do you do it in the middle of the tire on the deepest tread?

which often time is never really true - I normally use 3 readings
1) outside tread
2) middle
3) inside tread
this should help you out on figuring out what is wrong with your setup. You should use the lowest measurement to see if you need new tires or not.

This is exactly what you should do...
since our cars are known for inside wear especially if you have sport suspension, it is a good idea to take the 3 measurements. And if you find you have more tread on the outside, you can always break the tires from the wheels and "flip" them to give you the best life.
