Front Tire Cupping

[Wheelin98TJ]

I am not a believer in rotating tires. It can potentially hide alignment issues. If you get your alignment dialed in properly you will have very little issues. I sold tires professionally and trust me I wanted you to rotate all 4 tires. That way they all wore out at the same time!

Isn't that the point? To wear them all out at the same time?

I haven't rotated the tires on my F150 since it was new 60k miles ago. The rear tires are worn out, the fronts have plenty of tread.

Thanks for the post. Just taught me something new. My wildpeaks wore similarly. The way it was with a specific lug of the tread pattern, I was not sure if that was a tire design thing. I rotated religiously every 5k and they lasted 55k miles. I did not think about shocks being worn out as there was not vibration or other noticeable driving issues. Guess I need to add shocks to my Christmas list. And well if I am going to do shocks, might as well throw in a little lift too ?? ?

this is the way.

I had an inkling after reading everyone's complaints about the OEM Fox shocks that they were my problem. With a rack and a tent on year round, I don't think they're made for that usage. We got about 45k miles out of them, though.

It was a domino effect. Put shocks on, might as well do a lift, and then might as well get 37s.

Like when my wife wanted to paint the kitchen cabinets... going to need new hardware, new countertops, new sink, new carpets...
