Advice on how to fix tire issue?

Hi everyone!
I was wondering if anyone could shed light on what you think the problem is in the photo attached. I was wondering if it could be alignment or maybe that I just never did a tire rotation since I had these tires put on two years ago. Any advice or knowledge would be appreciated.

 

Ummm you have both issues buddy....

You need to rotate your tires often (I usually rotate every 6 months, some people every 5k miles) and that is also 100% an alignment issue. You hit a curb or sometime hard in the past 2 years?

You

1.) have too much negative camber so your tires look like this / \ instead of looking like this | |

AND/OR

You have a Toe issue so your tire might be pointing out instead of in.

Lastly, would be a good idea if you looked at your tires more often as you could have spotted this issue a long time ago and gotten it fixed before wrecking a good tire.

 

100 dollar alignment would've saved you hundreds on new shoes. I learned that the hard way too

Drive over to a shop asap before winter hits hard.

 

What's the other tire look like?

 

Next time, I would suggest doing a chaulk test on your subsequent set of wheels to confirm even wear. A minor varying factor could also be due to tire pressures, but like others have mentioned above, this is certainly related to alignment issues and failure to rotate tires frequently.

 

Alignment is the concern, but the cause may be worn ball joints. Have a shop inspect it prior to alignment.

 

Looks the smae in the front on the other side unfortunately :/. Back tires have normal wear and don't look like this.

 

Totally :/ should have done that, but got pretty lazy with work and school combined. Just ordered some new tires and an alignment is up right after that for sure!

 

Thanks everyone for the input, new tires and an alignment are up next for the truck!

 

What tires did you get?

 

I ended up ordering a set of Nitto Ridge Grapplers, thought I'd try something new.

 

How much offset you running?
