Any ideas for why the one tire has worn on outside edge. I always check pressure before each trip and keep cold pressure at 80psi. Can wheels be aligned? It seems if the axle is bent the opposite side tire would also wear unevenly?? I'm ready to replace with G rated tires, but don't want new tire to wear out prematurely.

To follow up, I had my axle checked out and found that the spindle is bent on the passenger side front, causing the unusual tire wear. I do now recall hitting a few curbs on that side that could account for that
We've ordered 2, 7k axles and plan to upgrade to Provider 235/85-16 "G" rated 14 ply tires. Then all I have to do is try to stay away from the curbs[emoji853]
