Mr. Tire screwed up. Doesn’t look like the first time.

I don't even know how its possible to have that much wear on a tire in 4 - 5000 miles.

I still have the sheet that says I was only out by .05 within 1000 miles I started to notice, then I took this at around 4k, Im not a happy camper
how many people can just go out and buy a new set to 285/70, and coming up on inspection in 2 months, this aint gonna pass, its not safe at all but it dont handle that bad on snow and ice LOL

So the first tire that I put on my Ranger after raising it up was also the 285/70/17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. I loved them for their looks, traction, stability, quietness etc. However, they were pretty much worn out at 30k miles. (there are other similar wear comments on the forum about these Nittos) I went back to Discount Tire (where I bought them) about the rapid wear and was informed the Nittos had no mileage warranty. I was pretty bummed but Discount gave me a $100 per tire customer loyalty (or something) discount on my next set (that were not Nittos). I do tow frequently and heavy. Perhaps a discussion with your tire store would bring similar results.

I had bought a life time alignment from Firestone (as I do with any car I buy). They have them on sale from time to time (firestonecompleteautocare.com/offers/) making the lifetime just a little more than a one time. The truck had an alignment from the installer of the lift and then 4 alignments from 3 different firestone shops before I hit on one that wasn't causing uneven wear.

I immediately take it for an alignment (and a rotate) when I see the slightest change in wear so my tires never got destroyed before I finally hit on the perfect (so far) alignment. The lift/level makes it pretty tricky to get the alignment just right and stay right, in my opinion. I'm still watching it like a hawk. But the life time alignment means I just take if back whenever I want.

I have Cooper Discoverer Rugged Treks on it now and they seem to be wearing much better than the Nittos. They aren't as quiet, but they ride much better. Traction is excellent.
