My Bad. I misunderstood

Do you tow anything? My experience: my first couple of sets wore very evenly. Never had to rotate. Two years ago, I started towing more often and heavier. With these changes I noticed that my rear tires wore considerably faster than my fronts. Individual tires still wear evenly, the rears just wear twice as fast as the fronts if I don't rotate them.

This is an alignment issue. It's called feathering, and is caused by improper toe. Either the axle is cocked in the frame, or the axle is bent.

The rear diff is a modified version of the old Gleason worm gear. Detroit Gear's TruTrak and the Torsion T1 and T2 are essentially the same thing. There are no clutch packs to wear and no locking fingers to break. It is not a viscous coupling; it's a solid gear coupling.

The only place I can think of on my truck that has a viscous coupling is the torque converter.

Do you do a lot of dirt road driving and/or towing?

I wore 4/32 (38%) of my Michelin's off in 6800 miles this summer from a lot of dirt roads and towing.

I thought about that, but he's not complaining about any wheel bearings or leakage. Even these rears will leak when bent. And he would have handling problems, especially when wet. Both sides bent at the same time? If it was dropped maybe. But that would give him camber wear.

I have a buddy who bought a truck with a bent rear axle, only indication was rapid tire wear.. everything else was normal.

One tire or both?

AH64ID

I never saw them, but he always referred to it as eating tires. He drove it from Alabama to Idaho and said he nearly wore the rear tires out. He put a new axle in it as soon as he got back and bought 4 new tires. It was t-boned in the axle before he bought it.

THAT makes sense. Must have been driven inti a curb on the other side

It's not a heavy foot. I am the only one driving the truck and I am very careful. I don;t tow or haul with the vehicle either.

Do you do lots of gravel to highway driving? Or lots of stop and go traffic? Everytime to have to start moving the torque from you truck will spin the tires ever so slightly. I put new 35s on ny truck in may and their already looking about 60% but I do tons of gravel and highway driving and then stop and go on dYs off
