Front alignment problem

Well, I haven't checked my tires for a while, so I checked out the front two and WOW. Half of the tire (inside part) was warn away so much, I could see the steel belts! The other half looked brand new. I have maybe 4 months of driving on these tires since they were new. I noticed recently that my car shakes pretty badly at around 60-70 and sometimes pulls to the right or left. Obviously I need new tires and alignment now, but is there something else that could be wrong?

it just sounds like u've got some massive toe in and camber on that one wheel. been hitting any gutters lately?
i would just get an alignment and maybe a wheel balance too, they aint that expensive and see if that fixes it
