Message:
my stock tires went out in a year, thought it was jsut the way I drove my dakota (burnouts) but I stopped after I bought 700 dollar tires I wanted them to last longer thena year. Well I noticed that these tires are wearing funny in the same place as the others, the front tires arent wearing like they shoud. my tire guy and I thought it was the alignment but Ive had that check many times, and its fine. does anyone else have this problem? Im thinking about taking it to dodge, I want them to pay me back for the tires that Ive lost, but I doubt they will do that

is the truck lifted or lowered? many times the camber can be thrown of drastically and will result in wear on the outside edge of a tire like that.

How hard do you take corners, and did you get an alignment done when you had the new tires installed?? If you take corners fast and hard then it's going to wear the outsides faster, and if you didn't have an alignment done when you got new tires, then you should now and chalk it up to a lesson learned. You shoudl always get a new alignment done any time you change tires. It just makes sure there are no problems. Call i preventative maintenance. Why wait for a problem to occur??

Does it pull to one side because my wife's 2000 cirrus pulled to the left and I went to the dealer several times and finally techs from chrysler came out and the k-frame was a 1/4 degree of so thats why the car was pulling and tires were wearing out.
