Are there known issues with excessive inner tire wear? 23k miles and all 4 (from rotating) inner edges are worn significantly more than the rest of the tire. Dealer just checked it out and says all good, it’s just how these trucks and tires (Goodyear) are. But then suggested an alignment when I get new tires? 🤔

Did they bother to check the alignment?

Whether it is a dealer or independent shop, most reputable alignment techs and the machines they use can print off the before and after toe, camber etc and be able to explain it to you in plain English.  if not, go somewhere else who will.

I'm truly amazed at all the folks that just blindly abide by what the "stealer service thieves" tell them!!!

 

And then when they drive off the lot and the issue resurfaces....................they go back again!!!!

Too much negative camber. And, maybe low tire pressures that make it worse. The tires on these trucks aren't tucked way out of sight to where you can't easily inspect them like a Corvette. This should be noticed long before the tires are "ruined". GM has ranges to set the camber and a good suspension tech should be able to see they need to set up this situation at the positive camber side of the range.

i have the same problem, dealer print out shows everything in spec. i have had 3 alignments done and no one seems to get it correct. second set of tires ruined

 

Brother of another mother. You know this. There is "In spec" and then there is "On spec" alignments. The sharp customer sets the expectations. Not the dealer. You pay them to do a job. Insist they do it. I even have "Grump spec" alignments for problem children. Get those tires stood up and pointing forward. 

 

I tell them walking in the in spec/on spec tale and say, "We are going to put it on the rack, inspect for worn items and get a before printout. We fix what needs fixing. Then I'll tell you what numbers I want and then you will tell me if you can do what I ask or not before we even put it on the rack and afterwards, we get an after printout. Don't get what I ask for and you don't get paid". "You can or you can't, you will, or you won't, what are we doing today". They give me the "I'm the expert speech and he won't finish before I'm out of there. 

 

Any reputable shop will even let you watch the final so you can be sure no one was hanging off the frame to get the number. :crackup:

 

Guy has to manage his own expectations as well. A/T and Mudder tires just wear odd. Too much block squirm. Round edge tires were better than square shouldered and work better in the wet. :) 

 

PS: it's often the toe.

Update

After insisting they put it back on the rack and do an alignment, the RF was found to have .24 degrees of negative toe. This was corrected. Now, I have about 5k left in these tires. When I get new tires, is another alignment needed?

Yes, an alignment is recommended any time new tires or suspension parts are installed, even if the tires or parts are identical to the ones being replaced.

At a minimum it should be checked for sure, and then if any adjustment is needed, adjusted.  

 

That negative toe seems like a likely culprit for the inner feather/accelerated wear.  If you had too much negative camber, the whole tire would be worn at an angle across the whole tread.  

 

Unless the roads where you live are 100% smooth as glass, it does not hurt to have your alignment checked periodically and adjusted as necessary.  Potholes, you curb a tire, the vehicle ages and components settle, worn bushings, tie rods, ball joints, the list goes on.  Do you have to have it checked every 3000mi?  That would be overkill.  Once a year?  Not a bad idea.

Ya got to be your own advocate. Well done.

I'm literally dealing with the exact same thing. My tire has 38,000kms on it and has less than 3% tread left. The dealership couldn't replace a hole in the tire because it's so worn.

      Trading 7.3 (Godzilla) for G.M.C gas

      By James Beyer · Posted

      Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-

      Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.
