    What brand name of tires are these ? Btw, I was talking to my tire guy, he brought up a slight change on tire pressure could cause that. Also he said for some reason, most of the tire he does, the inner part of the tire usually wears a little more due to the turning and twisting., that's why he recommends rotating all 8 when you first see the signs of any kind of irregular wear.

    Roadmasters. I routinely run 95 in all my drives. I may start rotating more often. Especially when I get a entire new set at once that are of the same exact read depth from the start.

    My last drives wore fairly nicely and evenly. When I got the new BFG's a couple months ago they did s full alignment and my thrust angles were off. I was surprised with how nice the tires gad worn.

    I run in the snow with them and have never had a problem. Wet grass on the other hand...

    Getting tyrepressure right can be tricky.
    I run float's on my steer axle.
    They started to wear on the outside edge (inflated to manufacture's specs)
    Solved it by basicly overinflating them.........

    Normal to see if you have ran your tires with light loads and kept your inflation pressures too high.

    I've also experienced this before..

    I think they call it river wear... It's no big deal other than you need to drop your pressures of You're gonna be light weight allot.

    No worries!

    Every other major groove could have been caused by low air pressure at some point in the life of the tire. Once it starts you can't stop it
