Hi,

If they are worn on the outside edge, chances are it needs an alignment. One of the components that is adjustable is called the tow-in. In this case, this sounds like the tires may be towed in causing the wear.

As far as noise, check to see if the tire tread is cupped/scuffed or worn unevenly. That can cause excessive road noise.

If possible, take a couple of pics of the tires and upload them for me to see. Also, if the noise is loud enough to record, do so and upload it for me to hear.

Also, take a look at this link and let me know if it helps:

let me know.

Take care,
