Radial Tires wear quicker?
I've heard that radial tires wear quicker than bias tires on old cars...is this true?
I ask because my front tires have only about 15,000 miles on them, and already the tread on the outside is getting kind of low. I had an alignment not too long ago, so I don't think that's the problem. WADDAYA THINK?

And the wear isn't gonna be a factor of the type of tire, but the compound the rubber is made of. Sfot tires give better traction, but wear faster. Hard tires wear longer but are slippery. I remember a set of Dunlop GT Qualifiers in Bias belted, I had about 35,000 miles on them with very little wear, but I could light those things up and do 200 ft long burn outs, tires just smoking off. I think about 20K of those miles were done without the car moving lol
