I have a 2002 kia optima when I drive it sounds as if the wheels are skidding. Also its exsessive wear on the tires in front and in back. From about a one mile drive tires were shredded down to wire. What could be the problem

What causes the wear on the tires.also how can I tell if there are other issues such as steering and suspension

the wear is caused by the alignmenet being out of whack. If you have hit a curb or something similar it could do that. Or worn suspension pieces that have made it go out of aliignment. Also not rotating your tires every 7000 miles or so.
