I had 385’s and the edges always wore faster then the center. Think under inflation wear pattern but I always had them aired up to 125-130psi. Normally ran 13.5-14.5 on the steer with 16k max so I dropped to a set of 315’s but have only had them a month now. Every tire guy I talked to said 385’s wear that way on steer axles. 385’s where bridgestones my 854’s lasted about 115k and the 244’s lasted about 150k all highway miles. My 315’s are Michelin XZE’s. Another thing to remember is they take different rim’s. 385’s need 12.25” rim where 315’s are 9” wide.

Edit: 315’s will also be about 2” taller then your low pro’s as well since they are ruffly a 42” tire.SJE Thanks this. -
Dumb question...but if you only got a 14,6 axle ?
