the toe could be outta wack, measure from the rims from the 3 and 9 position (if you are looking at the backside of the rim) IIRC the toe should be 0* so the measurement should be the same.

i have my toe set at 1/8 toe in..... could this cause it? it seems a bit extreme for a toe issue.

Ding. Too much pressure with a little to much toe in I would bring the pressure to about 32psi and push the toe out a hair.

yup, that looks over inflated. later confirmed by your 40psi number. ive seen worse tread wear due to minor alignment issues on bfg a/t's before.

1/8th toe is acceptable, but i aim for a 1/16th. not that im saying thats gonna cause this.

I assume you've already double check the ball joint condition?

wrong psi, bad alignment, worn ball joints, worn hub assemblies can all be the cause....

ya my ball joints are solid. and these have unit bearings correct? to check these i would just jack up the tire and check for play vertically. thanks guys for all the input. ill air down my tires and dial in my toe. hopefully thatl fix her up.
