Check your front wheel alignment, make sure they both poi t straight. Try to have some one sit in your car when you check. I got an alignment and starts wearing the insides of the tires. Anyways, I usuall use bungee cords to secure 4 foot levels to the rim, and measure behind and in front of the tir. Make sureyou are getting a true reading, tryto stayoff of raised lettering. There should be a 1/16 to 1/8 smaller reading in frot of the tire comparedto behind

another one might be that the car was in an accident and is dogtracking, and it ispushing air with it's side as it goes down the road. If you have bedrails you can check that too, secure them to the rear wheel facing the front and see how far he back to front wheel alignment is off. Or you canget a 4 wheel alignment, but I don't think there is anything adjustable on the back so shops may not check it
