Default Tire wire and sound

Ok so I have a 2004 monte carlo and I noticed that my tires are wearing out funny. The left tire is wearing most in the inside of the tire while the right is wearing in the outside of the tire. I also have this vibrating sound that when I turn left it is really loud, when I drive straight it is a bit quieter, and when I turn right there is no sound at all. What could be causing these issues?

Wheel hub assembly and check all other suspension parts. Get the tires in the air and see if there is any movement when you grab the tire and "rock" it back and forth. My guess would be the right front hub assembly if turning left sounds worse.

Also make sure your tires are aired properly

Are you running the stock rims and tire size? If so 32psi

If you are running low-profile tires, then you would have to adjust as you see them wearing down. I noticed on my 18 low-profiles the edges were wearing faster, but at 34 psi they were wearing better.
