2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission front tire wear

[JCyrbok]

Just noticied today while checking air pressure that my front tires are wearing kinda funny.



Both front tires have noticible wear on the outer most row of tread only. And this wear is on the inside of this outer row(if that makes sense).



I run my tires at 67psi, and my truck has the "typical" pull to the left and wander on the highway since brand new. I know that the front suspension/steering is not the best on these trucks.



ANy idea's where I should start to look at as a cause? The rear tires look brand new, treadwise.



Also anyone running other tires that have better wear and mileage to them? BTW my truck has the Stock Michelins from the fatory and I have 32K on them/truck.



Any help would be appreciated.



Thanks and happy holidays,

Have you had it aligned lately? It sounds like it's toe'd out , which would also account for the pull you have. Do you rotate the tires at regular intervals?

I had the right side outer edge wear funny. Alignment fixed the problem...

sounds like an alingment is in order, as I have never had one done.



Thanks guys I'll keep you informed.

PS Rob you know of any good alingment shops in our area, I'm in Ypsi.
