Unhappy two front tires are balding, steering is off

*94 eg honda hb manual: my two front tires are balding and my steering is kind of off. btw the back tires are fine. wen im turning it tends to jolt a bit. since i dont have power steering i know steering is more tougher ,anyways i dont know where to begin with troubleshooting my problem. where should i begin with repair?
___* i want to eventually get all new tires and rims.and i was told i need to tighten the tire rod asap too. any suggestion which type of tires for 94honda dx?

see you other post
Also, naturally start from your tie-rod... And tires. Start rotating them, BTW.

Sounds like alignment issues.

Get you car aligned for the tire wear and for the jerking check your control arms or ball joints.

I wouldn't get an alignment until you've pinpointed the problem. It's not rational to pay for an alignment if it's all just going to become unaligned again within a few months because the problem that caused the alignment to come off in the first place wasn't fixed.

I guess he first needs to state if he rotates the tires...
