my first car had a bad tie-rod-end, something wrong with the steering. It would chew through tires unevenly every 4 months or so. but the beauty was (20+ years ago) they were only 13" tires, and getting them rotated was dirt-cheap. So I'd do that and replace them quarterly with used ones for $20 a pop instead of fix the steering problem.
