Get the tires replaced and have the alignment checked. If the front end checks out and the tires balance out without adding two pounds of meta to each wheel, then you are in good shape.

I'd probably guess that the camber/toe is so shot out from driving over these roads that she's been wearing them out prematurely. I'd also guess that she drives a bit aggressively considering the type of car and people's general lack of giving a **** about driving.
Al- She certainly doesn't drive aggressively but she does a lot of low speed maneuvers (parallel parking, etc.) so I figured that could cause it. For example, she lives on the end of a tight stone paver street. I imagine parallel parking on that road would cause some nasty tire wear. She also didn't rotate them.

Anyone know a good front end shop in North Jersey that can give this car a once over before I replace the tires? I don't want to think about it anymore.
