Abnormal Tire Wear

[WC911EOC]

I was checking out my front tires on the truck the other day and noticed my passenger front is wearing funny. It seems as though the center of the tire is getting worn down faster than the outsides. The tire on the drivers side is fine. I changed the wheel bearing on the drivers side and IIRC this started occuring after I did that. Is it time for another bearing for the passenger side? possibly an alignment too?

Thanks in advance guys!!

What size tires & wheels?

all stock tires and rims

Wear in the center is usually caused by overinflation.

Here's a pic of what it looks like, take a look at the middle tread...

X2 or a belt letting go. not a cooper or hancook is it?

No, they are BFGoodrich's

Whats a safe PSI to set them at guys? should it be like 10PSI below the max? or is it better to keep them at the max? I never quite had a definitive answer on that...

Look at the tire info label on the driver's door jamb. recommended front should be around 60 front, 80 rear iirc.

I run mine around 50 in the front. If your running D rated, I wouldn't run them too hard. I ate my BFG's in 17k.
