Taking the plunge. My journey as an O/O.

If you're going to keep it, might want to look at centrimatics. $350, but they work for me.
But make sure you get the right size. I didn't know there were sizes until my tire guy told me

 

We have double coins on the rear of the 99 that are wearing like iron. Expect to get around that much out of em too. Would buy again

 

You need a three axle alingment anyway. Right? Most little shops don't do that.

 

They did you a favor, take your truck to an actual alignment shop.

 

It would be worth the money to dead head to Kansas City and let Chad look at your alignment. Trusting a truckstop shop for that job is not a wise choice. Chad won't lie to you. Alignment Solutions is the name of his business and he's at the same site as T&E Service Co. in Kansas City, MO.

 

I second not wasting money at an inferior shop and getting to KC instead. There’s also a mobile alignment guy in Lincoln as well as a shop in Fairmont NE that are MD shops. But Chad in KC is by far the best.

If you were just checking the front axle, you can check the toe yourself with a tape measure and some tape. But many times steer tire wear is cause by drive axles that are out of alingment. Also your rear suspension bushings could need replaced too, and that would cause steer tire wear.

 

I would put a new set of steers on and go to the alingment shop. Or depending on rates new steers and run it. A new set of tires for 500 or a 1000 miles and then getting it all checked out would be fine to me. Riding on nearly illegal steer tires is a bit of an uneeded risk imo.
