Get a 4 wheel alignment before replacing the tire again.

if its wearing out "really fast" to the point where he has to replace it often something may be bent.

Agreed, but it still needs to be put on an alignment machine. Kinda makes me wonder about the shop selling the tires...

i agree. OP how often are you changing these tires? and are they bald (im assuming they are) when you take them off?

your shocks could be worn out to much. get that checked out. how many kms are on your current struts?

So a new tire is wearing again, the car has 160k miles on it.. Stock struts front and back and was considering changing them.. The car bounces pretty bad when I drive.

which edge is it wearing out on, that would help to figure out where the problem is, but the camber is definatly way out to wear on any edge

Outer edge

Classic excessive positive camber and toe out of spec.

toe out, would cause scrubbing, and the vehicle to track weird from the rear, with the postive camber normally there is something bent (lower arm)
