Default Tire Wear

Is there any good way to tell if your wearing through tires quicker than average beside the let go of the steering wheel and see if it leans or a vibrating steering wheel? I crashed mine a while back. It drives straight, but it slightly leans left and slightly right but nothing constant and the wheel doesnt vibrate, i just dont want my nice 33" expensive mud tires to wear down fast. Thanks

1989 jeep cherokee, fender bender and slightly bent the frame pulled it out straight and measures out good.

Get you a tire tread depth gauge and use it.

Take it to an alignment shop and have it checked is the only way to be sure and have them to check for bent or broken steering item's as well.

Its not rocket science to have these things checked

I like to occasionally do the thumb nail test. I put my thumb into the tread on the outside of the tire and make a mental mark where it stops, then go to the opposite side closets to the coil and check it again.
