Not nearly enough on the rotation.
I get all the above suggestions though, just wanted to know if this was an issue I should expect or if it’s 100% on me.
Not to be rude but it's on you.
I got 55K out of my Ridge Grapplers. The wear was pretty even across the tread (no feathering, cupping, or gross wear unevenness) and there was still meat in the center (maybe 3/32") but were pretty much bald on the sides (probably because I have a tendency to take corners "at speed"
).
I ran them at near max pressure (there's plenty discussion on that topic but it's my truck and that's what I choose to do), had them rotated/balanced every 5K miles, and had 2 alignment checks done during that time.
The truck was in spec the first time around on the alignment rack but they straightened the steering wheel (just a bit off center from the factory and was driving me nuts) and told the they "tweaked" it to ride better. I said thank you (with a sure/whatever tone) but realized that it did ride better.
The second time I had an alignment done things shifted a little and they put things back to the first alignment specs.
Not sure if the truck was settling from the build (I bought it new) or if IFSs have a tendency to drift over time (I don't hit any curbs). I'm coming from 10+ years of SFA (solid front axle) which was bulletproof and only had a couple of adjustments that could be made.
The rotations added life but I don't think the tires would have worn nearly as well if I had not gotten the alignment done.
Just my .02
