tires wearing unevenly

Hey yall i got my tires rotated and balanced yesterday and i noticed the fronts were wearing unevenly and ive also noticed since then there is a really bad steering wobble. I was wondering what it could be.

Did you get an alignment when you first got your tires. I had the same problem with my stock tires. The alignment was off and they wore down real fast.

something loose? tire out of balance? i had an alignment done right after my lift and for some reason, it needed another one 2 weeks later. i think they didn't tighten the cam bolts down enough or something.

Your tires were wearing bad prior to the alignment and when you had the alignment put back correctly it made the tire wear change , witchs is mostlikely casueing the tire wobble and probably sounds like monster truck tires.

Im gonna say that there is probably something worn out in your front end which is not letting the truck hole the alignment and wearing your tires out quickly.
