    While that is low, the red labels have a very stiff sidewall, so it may be a reasonable pressure. It smells like a possible play/slop problem to me. What ucas do you have again? Check the balljoint/uniball for play. Check the lca balljoints for play. Then check the upper and lower bushings for wear and proper torque.

    Oh, check your wheel bearings for play too. Those can cause all kinds of funky inner tire wear issues.

    I have lightracing uuca's. I can torque everything before I get on the road Sunday to come back. How should I go about checking the wheel bearings?

    If I run any higher pressure with the grabbers I don't get a full contact patch on the tire making for a very loud tire.

    General swagger and pizzazz.
    Was it more pronounced on the front or back tires? Just spit balling ideas here...... It's possible your ARB bumper in addition to the lower tire pressure is causing the cupping and the cupping is causing a slight wobble which would explain some other issues (namely the lugs).

    I'm leaning towards something being loose. I've had these tires on for about 15-20k now, and I've made several long drives with them and haven't had any issues.

    The cupping is more pronounced on the rear though. :shrug:

    My front passenger tire wears faster than the other three tire. My truck pulls to the right sometimes. These are the short coming of aftermarket suspension, bumpers , etc. that said I'm at 30k on my MTR and the tread looks like I should make it to 40-45k.

    not that these fucking revos will ever wear down, but curious as to what a set of STTs in 285/75/16 would run.
