Tires Going out Fast

Hey guys i bought new set of Michelln X Radicals. With only 10,000 miles on them the fronts are coupling and wearing out fast. I have a Luke's Link. But everything else is shot. I cant afford to change everything dont want to change things i dont have to. What things should i change to stop this or where should I Start.

If the tires are just cupping I would point to your shocks which are a relatively low cost fix. Other wear could indicate any number of front end components. I would start with the shocks if cupping is all you are seeing and get an alignment done to the "corrected" specs.

These are the "corrected" alignment numbers.

Setting Left Wheel Right Wheel
Caster 3.2° 3.5°
Camber -0.10° -0.10°
Cross Caster -0.3°
Cross Camber 0.0°
Toe Standard specs, (maybe a little out if you tow a lot, they will pull in as the front end lifts up).
