    I 've a lot of tire damage but nothing like this. And the camera does not pick it up so well.
    Out side edge of the steer tires have weird groves in both of them. More so on the drivers tire than the seat buddy side. Any ideas?

    Might need to get a 3 axle alignment when you get new steer tires put on. Steer tires will wear out pretty fast due to heavy motor weight and turning. Not to mention the extra weight of the load pushing down on the steers. Check air pressure also.

    Shocks, bushings, suspension components. If it’s cup wear similar to the chart it’s probably from worn shocks that can’t keep up with the tires bouncing down the road.

    Awesome. Thank you. I have 110k on the shocks. I just started pricing new ones about a week and a half ago.
