Just returned from a loooong road trip and my buddy looks at my front tires and says, looks like you got an aligment issue. Sure enough, I'm a good deal worse wear on the inside (photo makes it look a bit worse than it is).
I put brand new Cooper ATS 4S on when I got the truck. Anyone else have alignment issues this early on?
Only thing I can think is that the Coopers are 265/65 R18s -- which are the largest diameter tires Ford dealer would put on, they add about an 1" diameter. Perhaps that is enough to throw things off? (The 4S are hybrid tires that do excellent in winter so probably a bit softer compound, which is an ok tradeoff for me.) Other thing is that I've been carrying a decent size load in back. Rears are wearing just fine.
