Default Front and rear tire feathering

Hey everyone, I'm new to this, but I bought my first 350Z back in august of last year and I've had a lot of problems. Right now I'm battling a broken control arm and sway bar link issue on the front, passenger side. Major popping while driving and especially turning. It has worn the inside of the tire heavily (down to the threads) and the drivers side does it as well, but not as bad. Last thursday I had two tires of mine slashed (both are driver's side) and had them replaced with BRAND NEW tires.. the rear, Goodyear Eagle F1, is showing some inner tire wear already. it hasn't even been a week. this is on the rear. I have no idea what's going on. If I could get some help to know what I should do that would be greatly appreciated.

Tire feathering is unique but often confused with other symptoms such as camber wear. Not the same. Read study learn.

Plain and simple - the problem is caused by alignment or lack thereof. Until you get your suspension fixed you're gonna keep eating up tires.

OP you need to find a good mechanic and alignment shop to take care of your issues
