MTR/K odd tread wear
So I noticed this just getting out and looking how dirt is sticking to two of my tires. If you look in this picture i know it may be hard to see, it seems every other lug on the all terrain strip is wearing on my tires.
There is a noticeable wear difference between the lugs almost wearing diagonally, Its hard to explain.
Checked my toe in.. could it be a simple air pressure issue? im running 27lbs.
They're 35in mtr/k and have been rotated about every 5k
Thanks for the help sorry they are sideways

It's the tire not you. I have the same issues and like stated below the only fix and it's not a fix is to rotate them constantly. The Sade part is that I love the look and performance offroad. I have a constant shimmy from them. If I rotate at 3,000 miles or less I can keep it to a min but if I go to long it is horrible. Discount tire refuses to help me because they have been trued which honestly helped them for a while. D/T keeps blaming everything else on the Jeep

I have exact same weird issue. Daughter drives 2014 Rubicon with 39K miles. We bought 13000 miles back and we did no rotation! I can understand shocks, alignment and ball joints can cause tire wear issues, but every other lug exactly as you guys mentioned is hard to comprehend and relate it to shocks, alignment or ball joints. Every other lug is almost 1/4 inch higher than the next flat one. if inside wear, outside wear, mid-wear or cupping, I can understand, but I wish someone could explain the physics of such a thing happening when all other tires have perfect uniform wear. I just assumed there is a steel-belt inside broke that connects every other lug .
Great to have this forum, so I can bounce crazy things like this after scratching my head and taking a bunch of pictures to make sure, I am not just seeing things.
