My mechanic said I need a new tire, but he couldn't even tell me why

I took my 2012 Mazda 3 in for a look because it is making a clunking sound after I hit a jump. The mechanic said I needed a new control arm, which makes sense to me. But then he told me I also needed a brand new tire. I was pretty confused. The tires are only two years old and I can't see anything wrong with them. I asked the mechanic what the problem was and he just ran his hand over it and said he could "feel it." He gave me no other explanation. I also thought the price was ridiculous. He said it would be $150 for just one tire. I paid about $300 for a whole set of them on sale at Walmart. This is not a dealership either, just a new random guy I've never seen before. Does anyone have a clue what he could have been talking about? #CarTrouble #MechanicAdvice #DIY #CarRepair #AutoRepair #HelpMe #HelpNeeded #CarTires
