Help guys...
the inside lugs on my 275/70R16 are wearing unevenly. the odd thing is it didn;t start happening till the last 5,000 mile sor so. The other kicker is it is the REAR tires only. the rear driver's side is the worst...(Hmmmmm....blowouts on rear driver's side..any relation??) I used to run 35 front and 28 rear, but it was rough so I am running 30 all around now. i rotate the tires every 5,000 miles. Last rotation the tires seemed fine. i had a ball joint replaced 2,500 miles ago. my Dad says he doesn;t think the front end has anything to do with this, but I was thinking maybe they didn;t aling it correct or didn;t crank my torsion bar back up enough to even out the truck...this is my first lifted truck so i have no idea. I have the OME 2" lift springs in the rear (and they have been on there for like 12,000 miles now) and I have torsion twist up front.

False Alarm....

living in Michigan we have those lovely "MIchigan turn-arounds" and I was having alittle fun about 2 weeks ago...trying to kick the rear end out while making the sharp U turn. I figure the tire wore so wierd since it was the only one spinning. So the moral of the story is an AWD truck with limited slip will not kick ou tthe back end unless it is wet or icy, and also it will wear your tire wierd, so go easy on it.....as for me i think I need a tire rotation a little early..lol

How many miles do you have on your Revo's? i have about 25K on mine and i am still not down to the halfway point yet...where the tread pattern changes.

Probably 500 (got em installed < 1 month ago)

I dodged the bullet last night b/c 4 cars got their tires slashed on the street infront of my apt.
