Tire Wear

[Jspafford]

I know the TTB axle is one of a kind... What I don't know is if mine always wore the outer tread off the tires before it was involved in the wreck.

As of now, the outer 1/3 of my front tires are about twice as worn as the inner tread. I rotated them to the back in hopes of salvaging them, but now the good tires from the back are doing the same thing.

I have cheap "walmart" Uniroyal Liberator A/T's on there now, but I plan on installing a better set of BFG or something similar and don't want to ruin them.

Is this something that can be fixed?

Sounds like you either have positive camber or its toed in too much.

Is this fixable or not worth the hassle?

Tires look to be vertical, but when turning they tuck under a LOT.

Is there any lift on this vehicle?

A simple alignment check would give you the answers you need. Could just need the toe reset.

You can do a simple check at home with a tape measure. Just measure to the center of one front tire to the center of the other front tire. Take this measurement at the front and the rear of the tires. They should be within an 1/8" of each other.

Agreed, sounds like your toe setting is off (toed-in too far).

Toe usually leads to cupping though too, a smooth outer wear is usually a camber issue. X3 on the alignment though.

How would you go about fixing it? (probably toed out in my case) Would that be something just a regular alignment job would fix up?

A regular alignment should fix it, toe is the in/out adjustment on your tie rod's
