make sure wheels are straight ahead, and yes tires need to be pumped up.

pavement riding will chew tires up really fast, over-inflation will wear the centers out. As far as uneven wear goes, do as zman indicated, take some dead on forward shots. Check your ball joints and tie rod ends for looseness (wear) along with the a-arm bushings.

Dude, you have different sized tires. Get the same size first.

Yes, that looks like pavement wearing them out.

golf cart tires will be much better, but you'll need 8 inch rims up front. otherwise, you're looking at go kart tires.

Passanger side looks larger than the drivers side.

I had the same size tires too, but they were not when you measured them.

If you don't ride in the dirt, slicks last the longest on pavement.
