    Just noticed on the front tires, outside, abnormal wear on both tires. I haven't been off roading, curb bouncing or anything that could contribute to throwing out the alignment. In another 500 miles I'll be bringing it in for tire rotation. Just wondering if anybody has heard of any like this before?

    which tires do you have?? hope they arent the rugged trails.......mine did it too, and they got real bad out of round.they were worn out by 23k miles. maybe try adjusting your air pressure. if it doesnt help, hate to say, you may need an alignment sure enough.

    Stock tires. Need to check which ones though. Tire pressure? I haven't checked it lately, then again the tire pressure light hasn't winked once. I think the alignment is off, the consistant wear pattern on the outside line on both tires is the clue. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem.

    I have the Dunlop Grandtrek AT20s. Other than having the grip of a block of ice, they are wearing evenly (unfortunately).

    I would definitely check your tire pressure. My TPMS light doesn't come on until I am below 25 PSI. I don't know about your tires, but 25 PSI on mine is very low! I check my tire pressure every weekend.
