front tires right? have you lowered the car? if so did you have the camber corrected? is your car pulling at all? bad bushing would make the car feel loose more then wear your tires. i would have the alignment done and go from there. but check all your bushings just in case. anything is possible.

I have not lowered my car (yet). i think its a bushing. the top part of the tire is leaning inward and the bottom is leaning outward.

an alignment rack should be able to tell you what you need to know.

It sounds like a worn outter tie rod to me, fairly common problem with mustangs. It also could be out of alignment. Did you hit any BIG potholes, curbs, islands, etc...?
