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.

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.

      Oil pump noise was discussed before.  I will try to remember to record a remote start later this morning.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65

      Factory front brake rotors...defect?

      By Chris80s · Posted

      On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      2024 Chevrolet 2500 HD Custom 6.6 Gas Canadian built Truck  I tried to search for my previous thread on this topic but cant find it so my apoligies  for starting another one    #1   Since we have owned our truck purchased new it has this strange noise after using the remote start function  you press the remote start and you hear it start but right at the end of it starting it almost seems like it wants to start again after the truck is running .   There is no gap in time it is right at the end of the start . Almost sounds like when you have started a car/truck and its running and then you try and start it again and you get that grinding noise ,sort of     #2  You can only hear this if you are standing outside of the truck and near the truck  you cant hear it when you start the truck from inside  the cab . So it may very well be happening when starting the truck that way as in normally    #3   This only happens when it is started after sitting . For how long I don't know but it happens after sitting overnight for sure and it wont do it if you stop the engine after starting and then start it again  I have had it in to the Dealership before concerning this but they did not have the truck  when it was cold to hear it . Now its back in the Dealership left it overnight so they could possibly hear the problem . They said they tried and nothing happened . Well they did not know what they were listening for . I started the truck remotely and BINGO it makes the noise . Oh that sounds weird they say . We need to look into it ! I have left for this week at the Dealership    Does your 2024 2500 HD gas do this ?  Any of you fellas care to take the time and trouble to film this operation from a cold start  so I can hear what your sound like  Really  would like to know if this is anormal sound  Thank You Fellas !!

      2026 Z71 Forward and Rear Park Assist help

      By Slow · Posted

      2026 Z71.  The other day I was backing a trailer into the barn.  The alarm was going off just because the trailer was in the field of the warning sensors when you get too close to something.  For some reason now the warning alarm doesn't work anymore.  It used to go off when I was just normally backing my truck into garage.  I still have the guidelines in the back up camera.  Is there a button or something to push to turn the sound/Alarm on and off?  I have the touch screen in this truck.  There isn't a "P" on the dash except for the parking brake.  I can't find anything in the touch screen under settings or vehicle.  Thank you in advance.
