That would be the (or part of the) alignment issue. Camber is how the tire tilts to the left and right if you were looking at it straight on from the front (think the top being further out than the bottom)....this causes the car to put most of it's weight on the outer edges while driving, causing your tires to wear down faster in one area than the other.

Also, im having some electrical problems. My lights seems to fluctuate brightness. it happens to my gauges, inside lights, and outside lights. Could my alternator be going bad?

I had the same issue and an alternator replacement remedied the light pulsating.
