I'm looking for reasons why my drivers side tire wears the way it does.
1/2 to3/4 of the tire will wear will have like 4-5 32nds more than the other 1/4 to 1/2. I'm talking around not side to side. It happens about every 6-8 mo and makes the truck really shutter in the front as you can imagine. I put a new hub on that side not trying to fix this but my wheel seal kept leaking due to pitting. New bearings came with it. I just put new shocks on I don't know if that will help old ones did not seem bad but can't hurt. The alignment seems good. Could it be the tire its self being junk they are not a name brand but I forget what they are some Chinese brand. It's a 99 classic if that makes a difference.

I'd say it's either mis mounted tire or junk tire. To look for mis mount you'll see a ridge or line on the sidewall near the rim. Does the rim look off center?
Every tire has a heavy spot jack up the axle and spin the wheel by hand. Does the wear spot wind up on bottom?
