    Although, remembering my old steering and suspension instructor's words of warning, not to judge a steering/suspension problem by the current tire condition, I'd almost have to agree with the tire crown, and perhaps the low tire pressure point of view. Looking at the tire, right steer you said, I had trouble getting my head into the orientation from the pictures, I can see what looks like two tracks of rubber that are worn, a middle that is really worn, and then two that are higher/less worn. Since the idea is to keep the tire sitting on the pavement and square and distributing the weight across all gripping rubber, the indication is the serious crown effect, I suspect of rural roads that are more convex for drainage to the right side is the reason for the drastic wear pattern. The weights you haul, and the lower air pressure may be helping make it's effect more pronounced.

    If the alignment of the truck, trailer and all suspension equipment is in good shape, then that could be about the only reason left. :)

    Another good description of that site. :biggrin_25523:

    I read there, but not usually for long because it tends to raise my blood pressure. I haven’t posted there in years though. They don’t like people who dare challenge the Maryland mentality. Also, every member who joined there within a year after Sandy Hook got treated as pariahs and still do by some of the ones who were members before that. That never sat well with me.

    If I were the criminal mastermind, other criminals would never know anything about me. These guys are like the fat, unathletic (is that a word?)lunch counter navy seals. Yeah, went through hell week 5 years ago but now you look like you have no skeletal muscles. If it’s controversial or in the political crosshairs, hide your cards and play dumb.

    Excellent loading location. Not bothered by a bunch of gawkers standing around or traffic zooming by.
    Go in, load and go. My way.

    Unloaded the caterpillar earlier on a small 2 lane road, I normally don’t let anyone side load / off load but he’s a good customer with good experience so it didn’t take long. Few blocks and it works out ok….
