looks like an alignment issue to me | ||

could also be a bent/unbalanced wheel | ||

If my Uly ever did that, it was because tire pressures were too low. If it happens on my Wrangler (with 31x10.5's), I rotate the tires in addition to verifying air pressure. Ditto my Ram 2500 Diesel (with 4x4 and an extremely heavy Cummins over the front axle). | ||

I recently had wear issues on our Toyota Sienna van. My wear on the front tires looked similar to yours, but much worse and very, very premature. I ended up getting an alignment done, and now run the tire pressure close to 40, vs the 35 that is called for. Ride is rougher, but so far the tires are wearing evenly. | ||

Looks like the rear toe setting is wrong. The front of the rear tires pointed towards each other or away from each other. Caster and camber settings can also cause weird tread wear, as well as bent suspension parts, and even hauling a heavy load in the trunk for a long time. Get a four wheel alignment, It'll cut down on friction drag that is eating at the tread and may even help you gas mileage. |
