I must be grumpy today. Two negative posts. I noticed the outside edges of my front tires are getting feathered.

I have a leveling kit...so is this inevitable or should I get my toe looked at? (On the truck not my foot).

Get your tires aligned. did you not get them aligned when you got the level?

I agree with that white kid. Sounds like u need an alignment. When u get an alignment rotate your tires. This will help with getting the ones that are feathered back to normal.

Get use to it, everyone I know has had issues with the stock goodyears, mine have feathered since new, they've checked alignment, they sent it to a Goodyear store, they've road forced balance and on and on and on. With 20k on my truck they will be coming off in the next 8-10k miles.

I agree with everyone else. feathering tires mean bad alignment.
Even though she tracks straight some places adjust the steering wheel hiding the alignment issue.

Take your truck in and then I would take it to another place for a second opinion.

I think we had another member here about 2 weeks ago with alignment issue and his dealer kept telling him it was straight. meanwhile, he was burning through rubber. He took it to another shop and had them align it properly and they provided a before and after print out that he took to the dealer
