Default Would uneven tires wear out my new front end?

Well, sorry I've been posting a lot of questions on here lately but im in a bit of a pickle.

I need new front ball joints, u-joints, and a tie rod. Also, my front tires are all screwed up and very unevenly worn and probably more square than they are round.

So, the question is: if I drive with my new front end components and my crappy front tires, will it wear out the new parts?

I'm worried because being a poor college student, I don't really have sufficient funding.

Thanks for any input

No i dont believe it should, since you are replacing the parts that are causing the problem it will no longer continue to wear your tires unevenly and i couldnt possibly think of a way uneven tread could wear down your new tire rod and other parts. I would recommend some new cheap ATR's though because winter is coming and if your front tires are bald its like turning on oil

As longest the front driver is even with the front passenger sides and the (rear driver and passenger sides are even) it shouldnt make them ware out. The rear doesnt necessary needs to be even with the front just make sure the air pressure for both tires are the same to avoid waring them out and saving some gas.
