So replaced my lt285/70/17 AT3W tires with the same size and load rating general ATX about a month ago. Wonderful tire and far grippier than the AT3W (which still has 12/32nd’s). About 600 miles on them now and I’m noticing what maybe a hint of uneven wear. When new, all the tread blocks had a little raised lip around their edges, probably 1/32” tall. I’m noticing on both front tires that the trailing edges of the tread blocks have this lip worn off while the leading do not.
Obviously this is a very small piece of rubber and may very well not be an issue but I was hoping to hear from BITOG what the thoughts are? Tie rods, UCAs and lower BJs are about one year old. Springs are original with 125k and the bilstein 5100 struts were installed over 100k miles ago- but have no bounce or sway. I have noticed a little shimmy when going over rough pavement but it doesn’t seem reproducible so it might just be nothing…. Also got a good alignment after the front end parts were done.
I’m pretty optimistic that this normal wear but I don’t want to be 10k into these tires and realize they are shot…
