You could have a bad alignment.
that is the most probably answer.

Wigsy, All CAPS when typing on a forum is considered yelling, so please refrain.

In regards to the wear only on one side, I tend to agree it's a suspension problem but only one wheel is more than just alignment- I suspect ball joint bushing and/or tie rod end (inner or outer) on the side that is wearing. If it's just alignment, both tires would wear funny.
