Need more info bro. Are the tires worn on the inside edges? Outside edges? Are they worn in the center, on both inner and outer edges? Pics would be great man.
It could be one of many things:
Too much tire pressure (wearing of centers only)
Too little tire pressure (wearing of outer and inner edges only)
Too much negative camber (wearing of inside edges)
Too much positive camber (wearing of outside edges)
Too much toe (feathering of tire)
Driving habits (pushing the car aggressively will wear tires very quickly)
I'd almost think it'd be too much toe if you're wearing the tires down evenly. Feathering can be very obvious or near non-existent depending on what your toe is set at. It's probably just easiest for you to go have a front-end alignment done and have them tell you what's out of spec, but it's very hard to diagnose without more info or pictures.

Yea get a good alignment and make sure the tie rods aren't excessively worn or bent...if they are this should be evident from the alignment numbers and whoever does it should noticed/check for worn parts before doing the alignment
