Remember that you are driving a permanent 4WD vehicle, so it's quite normal for increased wear on the front tyres from regular cornering (normal daily driver duties will do this). Not sure about the inside edges in particular, though...
Your regular rotations should help to even things out, but perhaps it would be worth a quick phone call to a tyre place?
Will do. Re-alignment at the same time wouldn't hurt either.
I guess my original Q wasn't just related to wear on the inside edges of the fronts, but the magnitude of the wear overall, given the low km driven. It seems excessive.

Or that you spend to much time in shopping centres? :D:wasntme:Quote:

I got 110,000km out of a set of KMs on a Troop carrier and that was carrying a fair amount of weight (work truck).
I have KM2s on the Disco 2 with about 7,000km. I've been searching for my tread depth gauge for the last couple of days to post pics of where they are at in comparo to the spare which is still new.
Happy Days
I decided to give a set of km2 a go on one of my 130s. I rotate and align every 10,000km, have tried all different pressures, but we will be lucky to get 45-50k out of them. Running along side a set of Mickey Ts MTZ on an almost identical if not heavier 130 puma ute and they are about half worn at 40k.
The ute with BFGs is doing forestry work so fast tar, fast dirt and shale/ granite trails... The tyre dealer who runs these tyres on he's f350 and recommended them is at a loss to the high wear, but is pretty sure it's the fast/windy bitumen that is killing these tyres, both utes run close to the GVM..don't think I will be buying another set for the premium price.
Post up your tread depth measurement when you have done themQuote:
