Tires are wearing quickly

What is your question?

Purchased the car new. I had to replace the original tires at 33,000 miles, I replaced them with mid-market 60,000 mile tires in November 2011. Today November of 2014 I have 68,000 miles and my tires are BALD, 0 tread and not wearing evenly. Could there be another issue causing this? :(

have an alignment done and check your shocks/struts which ever you have

I agree with the above comment. But, also consider you got 33,000 miles out of original tires, now 35,000 miles out of mid range tire. I think you are probably doing ok with tires. The 60,000 mile rating is pretty meaningless. Proper inflation, tire rotation/balance and alignment will help with wear.

Thanks so much, I found out that my ball joints and arm are cracked on the front end. He showed me the 2 front tires, it was pretty crazy, it's like the inner portion was being shredded - one of the rear tires was in perfect condition and the other was soso. I have rotated the tires with every oil change but I haven't been on-top of alignments. Certainly learned my lesson with that, I will never consider that 120 service a non-necessity again!!! By the way, please tell me if I was just taken to the cleaners... :) lol
