What's is going on here with my tiers these were on the front now for 23,000 miles and now on the rear. As you can see the outside corner of the diamond shape is higher than the inside corner, this is the same on the inside of the tire.

Get an alignment?

So you didn't rotate your tires for 23k miles? That may be what's going on

Tire siping. Normal if your alignment is ****ed. Haha...

You need someone who knows how to align a big tire, heavy truck. My guy uses chalk, a right angle, a measuring tape and a level to do my trucks. I only rotated my last set of toyo mt's twice in 30k miles. lol. It's all about the alignment...

Hmm, I've always thought I needed to rotate fairly often to get good tire wear but maybe my alignment is just out most of the time.. That don't get done much for sure, probably needs it again..

I had the tracking done 10 months ago have the print out. Some one told me cupping??

What is tire rotation...

After 5k it's usually time for new tires

Consistent last minute hard braking will also wear the block treads in a wedge shape sometimes..

A lot of tires have what appears to be more tread at the outside edge because the tires carcass alopes downward. That tire appears to be wearing fairly flat

Looks like a tire to me. They will cup if not rotated, whether or not your alignment is good, that is unless you live in an area with 90% straight roads and take turns like a 90 year old woman.

And tires should be rotated every 5-10k depending on roads and truck set up.

Out of curiosity what is your tire pressure

 

[denboy]

I am running them front 65 rear 70.

 

[OregonDMAX]

Well that's actually not too terrible.

Ok Guys.
I took her to the dealership for oil change and had them check tracking and found that the toe was out.
Thanks Den.
