Tire Fiasco

So I blew out my driver side rear tire a couple days ago and got it replaced with brand new oem rubber. Subsequently, after the assholes installed it they told me I should have ordered two because my other rear tire is on the verge of blowing as well. Anyways, since they replaced the the drivers side rear tire the car has been pulling super hard to the right. Could this be simply because that particular tire is just a larger diameter due to more tread, causing my car to push itself to the right (I literally have to fight to keep it on the road)? And if so, would this be damaging my other tires in the process?

Also, I'm extremely fucking confused as to why both my rear tires are so bald with only 20xxx kms on the car. Is it possible my alignment is way out? Being a broke ass student, I have a hard time swallowing nearly $500 per tire every 20k kms.

:toiletp:

I got just over 30k out of my oems. I had rpm streets installed about halfway through that, which brought the front camber to around -1.0, which I imagine helped things out in regards to tire life.

I haven't found a need for the adjustable SPC ball joints in terms of tire wear, but if you want total control over your alignment specs, in particular for additional handling adjustments, they're probably a must have.
