Help! Tire tread problems
 
My new front tires' inside tread is being worn down fast!! I know if I put fresh struts on, that should correct the camber slightly. Since I've got new tires on it now, should I put fresh struts or would an alignment do more?
note:Stock struts, 92,000 miles, new tires(bridgestones).
I'll look later to see if any suspension components are bent or damaged.BTW:it probably has not gotten a proper alignment yet in its life.
And how much do struts go for?$$$?$$$$?
one previous front tire kindly shead its inside tread alllllll the way to the the belts. that was about 700 miles ago.

I have done my own struts. The part is about $80 for OEM. Tire wear is wheel alignment and or tire pressure.

Not much fun wearing new tires down fast. I did that last year. Have you noticed that deep tire track trough will steer pull your car to the side? That's from wheel alignment.

I had the same problem on my car, and it was alignment. When they do the job, they will tell you if anything else is worn and needs to be fixed or replaced. Good luck. :)
