What’s causing this front tire wear

[jp28173]

Front drivers side is wearing every other tread or so, and has the classic “Wah wah wah” sound when driving, which increases with speed. Just rotated tires and had them balanced, thought that was the issue but the now front driver tire is still wearing the same after rotating and balance.

I would have your alignment and shocks checked also dam those tires are smoked...

Not the best picture in the world but it looks like too much camber. Could be caused by a number of things, jack up the front end by the frame and see what wiggles.

I would look very closely at all the front end components AND when you get your new tires, get them road force balanced. I've seen balance cause issues similar.

Yea thats just classic wear from either worn front end components or a bad alignment, or a combination of both.

Dont put new tires on it till you get it figured out, or they will look just like that in no time.

Thanks all, I suppose I should start with an alignment and see if it fixes the issue. If so I’ll be good for tires, if not will have to see what else it could be. RC 6” lift was installed about 3.5 years ago and just started noticing the wear pattern sometime last year, when the tires were already nearing the end of life.

Yea, if you go to a good alignment place, they will check all the front end components anyway, as they cant do an alignment if you have worn parts.

That tire wear is from driving

Leave her parked and it won't happen
