    I might throw a bs flag on that one SADWAR you would know from howling and growling if those rear bearings were loose. Not sure but I think these are full floater rear ends and they just don't go out of adjustment IMO

    I have cupping on the inside tread part on three of my four rear tires. Looks like someone scooped out some tread. I've put 40k on the tires since I got the truck. No rotate yet.

    Call BS on that. If the bearings are loose or worn out it'll usually chew up the seals and sling oil. Leaking seals are usually the first sign of a bearing going bad.

    Hmmmmmm Goodyear... I hate Goodyear tires. Never got good life out of them on cars or trucks. Always cupped out on me. Especially steers. If they come on a vehicle I buy, they get replaced with Bridgestone or Yokohama on my trucks..... Which unfortunately doesn't take very long before I need to replace them.

    I'm switching to Michelins..super singles..gotta push my MPG up a bit.

    Plus they wore pretty well..had good experience with them at my old company.

    They suck in the rain/snow when unloaded but it's a good trade off for the lower rolling resistance and weight savings.
