Front tires wearing faster than should. - 2002 Mazda Protege

Not really. But the new tire will wear down faster on the same as the old. You need a front end alignment. Could have worn out suspension parts also. Both will cause uneven tire wear.

Improper alignment
Improper tire inflation
Poor rotation and valence

Get the 4WD fixed and rotate, rotate, rotate

when you put on the brakes it should put some of the braking on your back tires also is why your front tires is doing all the work in braking and wearing your front brakes out faster.

Front tires tend to wear faster than old ones. It is usually best to put the new tires on the front drive wheels (traction,steering,braking). Then put the older tires on the back.

You need a front end alignment.

What causes it? Your tires are out of alignment. Why? You hit a bump or a bunch of bumps? This is normal wear on a complex set of levers, connecting rods and joints that work under the worst of circumstances.

under inflation is the first thing that come to my mind and lack of rotation and possibly shocks or struts that are shot. If your tires are worn down only in the center its usually overinflation.

You need to have your rear wheel alignment checked you have too much camber on your tires

The alignment is out. With the picture below, you most likely have a " TOE IN" problem. The 2 front tires facing inwards will cause the inside tire tread to wear out faster than normal.

the front end will need alignment kits installed that allow for the adjustment to be made to correct the tire wear, this has to be done on a alignment machine to set correctly, just eye balling it is not an option.
