    Alignment can cause this too. Have you had yours checked?

    I don't believe I have an alignment issue. My tires wear evenly, and the fronts wear faster than the rears. I just seem to eat tires.

    Do you think there is some value in getting it checked? A proper alignment can pay for itself by not having to buy so many tires over time but also in fuel economy and stability while driving.
