Your Alignment ........

Uh, i'm no expert on this but i do know tires are not suppose to wear out in 1 year (unless you have Ultra-high performance tires which in your case isn't)

The only thing i can think of out of the top of my head is you got alignment problem. Bring your car to a good tire shop and have them check your wheel alignment.

or it could be your tires are Over-inflated/deflated....
remember to check and maintain good tire pressures.

just my 2 cents...

rough surfaces

you probably drove over glass or something shady to blow your tires. how is your driving habbit? do you do burn outs alot?? do you drive on windy roads with redundent turns, ie the route takin' has consist of more lefts than rights, that would just stress one part of your wheel out alot. i live up in the boon docks and theres alotta right turns on the way up so the left wears faster than the right. just remember to allign your wheels when needed.
