Uneven tire wear
It probably is your ball joints and/or control arm bushings are worn.
Internetautomart has the whole control arm complete with ball joints and bushings

OR proly the person who put them in did not balance your tires, I bought brand new tires at discount tire (front 2 only) and with in 2 months there was uneven wear from the inside of the tires. they did replace them but car felt like it needed aligment, then I gont a flat a week a ago...
turns out they did not balance these tires either, new tires. So I got tired of dealing with them and went to a used tire shop the guy sold me 2 used for $40 buck, check tire presure on all 4, turns out the car did not need aligment just good balanced tire, and now does not pull to the left or to the right.

At the age our cars are reaching, worn out parts is far more likely than just getting an alignment. If I were you, I would get a shop to check it out and determine exactly which parts are worn, as it could be several things.

Check out align uself:
Two tires size plates, two meas tapes, flat terrain.
Place the [absolutely straight] plates against tires, tapes one running under car [front of tire] and one running under car [rear of tire]. Measure. Adjust as necessary, move car back/forth and measure again. Repeat until at specs.
I use glass plates for their straighness, and add four equal 1" blocks to get the plate to touch tire bottom (mid) and both sides (blokcs, mid) without touching rims.
