My front tires are extremely loud when I take off. When I stop the sound stops, but continues when I start moving. I ran my hands on the tires when I got home and noticed that the front inside tread of the tires was uneven and not smooth. What could be causing the tires to wear like this?

Have the front-end alignment checked and the tires balanced. Uneven inside tread wear may be from front-end wear; replace the tires to eliminate the noise.
