uneven wear on nitto grapplers?

i have some 265/70/17 nitto's on stock sport wheels, .85" lift on the front. i noticed the other day that the outer tread is wearing more than any part of the tread on the front tires. so i first thought my alignment was off, took it in to sears since the alignment is still under warranty.

he put it on the machine, printout came back perfect within specs. nothing out of specs or extreme. he said being that it is an aggressive a/t tire it might wear unevenly. i know that is true but would that account for an uneven wear like i stated earlier??? anyone with nittos have this same problem?

Also, i am rubbing at when i make hard turns at low speeds. it doesnt have to be full lock to rub either. thought 265/70's did not rub???

 

Rotate them every 5k miles at a minimum. otherwise they will wear unevenly.

 

I have some Nitto DG's and they wear out evenly. I rotate them about every 5K.

 

Ill post my specs tomorrow. Im at work right now. I only have 3k on these tires. Havent even put enough miles on them to have to rotate.

 

Too much positive camber.. Tires shouldnt wear like that if the alignment is in 'spec'

 

Thats what im thinking too!

 

something isnt right

 

Ok here are my alignment specs:

FL CAMBER: .06
FR CAMBER: .08

FL CASTER: 2.1
FR CASTER: 2.6

FL TOE: .02
FR TOE: .04

 

the specs seem to be pretty good imo

 

Bump. Anybody have an idea?

 

How about tire pressure?

 

if it's warn in the middle your tires are over in flated, if the edges are worn it's under inflated....i think

 

Alignment was done in march by Sears. Barely 3000 miles on them since then.

Sensors havent came on. any idea what is a good pressure for the nittos?

Its on both front tires, edge of the outside tread only. which originally made me think too much camber but obviously not.

 

i think 32psi front and 34 rear is good... or vice versa. but it may vary for nitto tg's

 

thanks ill try that tomorrow when i head out after work. will report my findings later

 

Mine are wearing good.. I rotate every 5k. I wouldn't not take my truck to sears... I heard too many horror stories. G/L
