More durable set of struts that stay at stock height?

Have you been rotating your tires regularly during the 34k Miles?

 

the oem's should last at least 100k , they are trying to bend you over, a+ for getting 2nd opinion

 

I do not see anything abnormal about your tires.

 

Maybe he was referring to the tire rotation schedule?

 

They are cupping on the inside edges mostly, you can see it best in the second picture when you look at the edges of the blocks.

 

Look at the wear on the inside. Looks cupped in the picture on the right.

 

Maybe I need my eyes examined, I’d be happy with those tires.

 

The cupping is not bad, but it is enough that it would create road noise and cause early tire wear.

 

Got it. That makes sense.

 

not as often as I should have. It was more like every 10k. The mechanic did say that irregular rotation can play a role.

 

Thanks! I’m new to all of this and this forum has been amazing at helping me figure this out

 

That edge cupping is pretty normal for those goodyears.

When they rotate, do a diagonal and side to side.

Reversing the tread direction will "fight" the tread edge wear.

 

Thank you for the information.

 

ToyotaCARE doesn’t know ANYTHING

 

My 2017 has roughly 14k miles and the factory Bilsteins have already gone kinda spongy. It's like the rebound control isn't what it used to be. They still ride smooth on road, but it's noticeable going over speed bumps. Never had any issues with tire cupping though.

I can confirm the Bilstein 5100s ride super smooth if you were to upgrade. They're a little stiffer than stock, but not too much.

If it were me I would go ahead and lift the truck with the 6112/5160, fox 2.0, or maybe some fox elite 2.5's with deavers from accutune.

 

Your suspension is fine. That tire wear is from you failing to properly rotate the tires and having an alignment that was slightly off.

Keep the alignment in check, rotate your tires every 5K and keep them properly inflated. That's it.
