    Been seeing this type of wear on steer, right side of tractor. Only this tire is wearing like this. Driver says it pulls ever so slightly to that side, had anyone seen this same wear and been able to diagnose with out swaping everything like my mechanic seams to want to do. Bearing seam to be good. tie rods is new, shock is new and truck has 3 axle alignment. This was a new tire and got ate up in 60k miles.

    MD Alignment can fix that. They say the tires don't lie. You might need 3 axle Alignment and is better then spec from factory. They say the factory spec is what they can do without stopping the production line. So factory spec is not good enough. You need some who looks at the tires because the tire are telling what the problem is. That's why they say the tires don't lie. Even is they are in factory spec.

    Might be low air pressure, call Alignment Solutions he can tell you. He uses the MD Alignment system, you might have MD Alignment closer but that guy in Kansas City can fix any problem they say. He on Facebook

    It appears to be pounding it out. Check psi, install two centering lug nuts 180 from each other and have a spin balance done
