    Hopefully they have checked the air ride height. That can cause a vibration as well. It won't make the tires wear uneven though.

    My dad just switched to 275/70r22.5 this week. He took the truck to MD alignment in West Plains, Missouri. He paid $350 for the alignment, and it has a good warranty. He also bought centramatics and that cost $600. Rides super smooth now.

    Your vibration and tire wear can be wheel bearing tolerance related, the air ride height, a u joint issue. Need to find the cause before wasting money on an alignment.

    A driveshaft out of "phase", Carrier Bearing, or a U joint can cause a vibration. Especially on a long wheelbase stinger.
