    I ran the 16 plys at 120 ... max pressure will get max life out of those tires.

    The area rep for Falken saw my tires. He wasnt surprised by the wear, had no advice for me other than recap when it came time. I think its a tread compound issue

    Got it to 105
    Is it worth to rotate them or flip ? I heard from other guys once irregular wear started - flipping will worsen it compared to leave alone . When i i drove my other truck i rotated every 35-45k .

    With irregular tire wear, I find it best to rotate them, but using abnormal rotate.
    Take each axle end, and turn them around. Inside becomes outside. Expect some noise until the wear patterns reverse. I've doubled drive tire life doing this.
     
    FoolsErrand and pavrom Thank this.
