Looks like its dry rotting/rotted between the tread
 












Yea I know the dry rotting sucks. It's passed two yearly inspections and I've driven to chicago and back 3 times so far(1700mi). I'm trying to figure out about the inch or so odd wear on the outer edge.
 












Slightly out of alignment. 2 likely reasons - torsion lifted front end, or worn ball joints

This is the back tires only, thats whats confusing
 






no ideas?
 






Have they been rotated front to back a few times?
The dry rot isn't helping either as the rubber is clearly getting hard.
That might also be adding to the uneven wear.
 


















Is the other rear tire worn in the same spot?

I was under my truck today and noticed the outside edge was a little more worn on the passenger side and the inner edge was worn the same way... I am thnking I need to shim under the spring perches on both sides just a hair to align the rear diff...

Yours seems to have a bit of misalignment as well as dry rot tires...
