Rotate every 5,000 miles and alignment. Bighatnohorse is spot on w/ caster/camber. But if your having wear issues, then you have a problem. A semi at my workplace has outside edge of rt steer tire darn near down to wearbars. Rest of tire looks okay as does the left tire. Let go of steering wheel at hiway speed and it's what I call "instant death" as truck IMMEDIATELY swerves to the right. Not my assigned truck, but have driven it before, wrote up as well before, yet nothing done. Other driver's don't even bother to write up as they don't write anything up anyways or have a clue--just get in and go.
Bought our DD a '11 Chevy Cruze in summer of '13 w/ about 23k miles and all 4 tires were down to wearbars. Dealer was going to sell it to her that way! Told dealer "NO Stinkin' way am I buying it w/ those tires". I wanted them to switch them w/ ones from her car that died, but they wouldn't due to different size (they could've, but claimed this reason and that etc). Then dealer offered to replace just 2 tires. Again told them no way, "All 4 or no deal". They "found" another car w/ 9k miles on tires and put them on. Now the funny part is, my local tire gurus were able to use the snow tires from dead car on the Cruze despite diff size. Really think dealer knew that the summer tires on dead car were quite beefy and able to make a buck off them. So, tires get switch from season to season, and now she need new summers. Going w/ Continentals. As far as I know her alignment is good and no unusual wear.
