    All tires are in good shape except one.
    It is Forward axle right side, inner tire on the tandem.
    Any idea what is causing it? I figured if it was the alignment then I would be loosing both tires on that side not just inner...

    Serious under inflation is my best guess.

    Shocks first, then bushings. Then alignment.

    Shocks, springs, suspension, brakes and it's hardware first. Alingment next.

    Throw that tire away, put two good ones on that dual. Keep the other old as a spare for now.

    Your truck is hurting real bad back there. And it will continue to tear em up until you find the root cause of the problem within the rig.

    And then, sometimes it is just a blemished tire. Some tread patterns are worse than others for this too.
