Car Tyres will eventually wear out!
I will assume that your Tyres are wearing out quickly and unevenly on one side of one tyres: this is a 'typical' scenario (with some symptoms being vibrating steering wheel, car pulling on one side when braking) when I highly recommend a full wheel alignments as well as getting your Tyres dynamically balanced: a good autoshop or Tyre shop will confirm the issue.
Another possibilty but not as common is your car braking system could be defective thus causing one or more wheels to lockup before the other thus causing tyre burns and wears.
I suggest you consut a mechanic! Hope the information is of some help and let me know how you go!

What causes front tire wear on inside & outside edges

Under inflation. When the tire doesn't have enough air pressure, the center tends to be pushed up from the road. Thus causing outer wear on both sides. alignment problems cause wear on one side or the other. Over inflation causes the center of the tire to wear .

Preventing tire wear is about regular maintainence to your vehicle.
You should rotate your tires every 5,000 miles , and keep
your tire pressure at factory pressures as indicated by the tag
inside the drivers door column.
Alignment is another factor in tire wear , look at your tires carefully .
Look for any unusual wear , especally on the inside of the tires,
as this is usually the most troublesome spot.
As vehicles age , the springs lose their tension to a degree.
This causes a problem in the tire angle called "camber".
The vehicles wheels are tilted inward at the top.
Excessive negative camber will wear the inside of the tire.
Most vehicles can have this corrected by properly aligning
the vehicle .
Another wear problem can be caused by the toe adjustment
being out of specifications .
This is the most destructive angle to tires , it the same angle you use to steer the vehicle left and right .
It normally causes inner and outer tire edges to wear rough in
one direction smooth in another while rubbing your hand around the
tire.
Both these angles can be corrected by a professional alignment .
Be sure the technician inspects your front end for any worn parts,
as aligning it with them is a waste of money and time .
Always ask for a before and after printout of your alignment.
tip

Keep your tires in good lasting shape

Did you ever see the statements in the tire dealer shops stating a specific tire model will last approx. 50-75,000 miles/
This will never happen unless you have your tires rotated every 7500 miles, the front tires wear excessively compared to the rear tires in 90% of the cars/trucks.
Why? Because the front tires in most cases are the drive tires(front wheel drive) causing the front tires to ocasionally spin causing excessive wear and also the front tires are the ones that guide your vehicle down the road, when you turn the steering wheel you are turning the front tires to make the car go in the direction you want thus causing more excessive wear to the front tires, in order to get even wear from front to back tires one must move the front tires to the back tires at 7500 mile intervals, making sure the tires only get rotated to the same side of the car each and every time, if you move a right rear tire to a left front position, severe damage may occur so please keep them same side rotations.
Also have your wheel alignment checked at a tire shop each time you bring it in for a wheel/tire rotation as pot holes, hitting curbs,etc all can effect the way the tires wear if the alignment goes out.

On my 2001 explorer on driverside inside of tire is wearing and it makes a sqeaking noise

The tire is wearing unevenly due to a tire defect...out of round, or belt seperation...the wear is also caused by alignment problems...get a free alignment check at your favorite Tire Barn...If you replace any tires, be sure to have the alignment checked, or the uneven wear will return quickly. Hope this helps.

On a 2002 Saturn vue does having the traction control off make a difference in tire wear ?

The only way it will make a difference in tire wear is if you are constantly spinning the tires and wearing them prematurely. If you are just turning traction control off but not spinning the tires any more than before you will not have any more wear.

All four tires are wearing out on sides of tires

If the tires are wearing on both sides and not the centers, instead of just one side per tire then the tires are under-inflated. Inflate to the proper psi.
If the tires are wearing only on one side, ie, left side tires wear on the left side, right side tires wear on the right side or vice versa, then the alignment is off, adjusting the camber may fix the problem.

Front tires wearing faster than should.

uneven wear- on one side of each tire- need front end alignment.
wearing in center- over inflated tires.

If they seem to wear evenly but quicker than they should, rotate with the rear so they all wear at same time.

The front tires wear rather quikly . possible something wrong with sepension

  • If you wear either the inside or outside of the tire which could mean your camber setting is off and alignment is needed.
  • If you have uneven tire wear in one direction (place hand over tire thread and run it forward direction, feeling for serrated sensation similar to a saw tooth) would relate to a worn shock absorber.
  • Consistent wear on the middle part of the tire means you are over inflating your tire. Adjust pressure with a cold tire and use a quality gauge.
  • Consistent wear at the inside and outside part of your thread means you are under inflating your tire.
  • Uneven cupping around the tire means a suspension component is worn. Check all rubber bushings for condition and ball joints for play.

Tire wear

does the car make noise from the rear when you go at a high speed. If it does it may be your bearings. I had my bearing wear out on me at 15000 miles.
