How much do you pay for tires? sounds like you might be getting some low quality tires. i bought tires once from wal-mart and they didn't last very long at all.

I'd do some research into some good tires for your car that'll take a good beating without causing you to buy tires so often. My experience has been tires that cost twice as much as the cheapest generally last way more than twice as long
