Default Alignment Problems

My Honda Accord 2006 drifts to the left. There is a slight pull on the steering wheel to the left when driving. I have taken it to a steering alignment shop twice now. The second time I discovered that my front left tire had worn out badly while the other 3 tires were still in good shape. So the shop rotated the tires for me
The alignment has been done yet the drffting still remains. I don't know what else to do now.
The shop suggested that I change the tie-rods. But I want to be sure before I buy any parts.

Please I will appreciate any advice on this!

From experiences, some shop just don't know what straight is. Try another shop. But most of all, one tires are worn out badly, and 3 are "ok." Since they are both related, it's hard to fix one and not another.

Just like bad tires can damage shocks and bad shocks can damage tires. Sometimes you got to do both at the same time, and that can be very expensive.

The subframe just below the engine might also be out of adjustment. I read that in the FSM. I have an 04 couple exl. I suggest get everything checked as GoLowDrew suggested. Respectfully
