Best bet is to check your alignment, if it is out then get a camber kit.
If not then you can just keep getting tires and check your alignment every so often.

i had an alignment done when i dropped the car....but its still a little off because of not having a camber kit...im kinda stuck because i dont know wat to do...these tires arent cheap...and i dont want to put bullsh!t tires on also...i mean i only have 12,000 miles on the car....so i dont know wat i said in the previous post is true or not

Do you have 18 or 19 inch wheels?
The 19" stock tires will last up to 20,000 miles, a few people have gone over that but with a modified suspension you will be lower by a little.
