Wheel wear problem

Hey guys I have a quick question that may or may not be able to be answered. My right front tire seems to be wearing much quicker than my left front tire. I had gotten my car aligned by I know the speed bumps at my college are extremely high so thought that may be a cause for needing another alignment? Or my brother said it might be a worn bearing in the right. Any ideas? anything is useful.
Thank you!

Alex


Oh and by the way its an 89 RS TBI 305. Does not have the racing suspension package and only discs in the front. Drums in the rear. 15 in stock rims. I run Fuzion HRI tires. They're H rated instead of just t or s

Re: Wheel wear problem

I had recently put 2 new tires on. I got my front end aligned then put the 2 new tires on because of the front right wear. I switched the 2 in the rear to the front and put the new ones on the front.

Hope some of this info helps.
