Accelerated Tire Wear on EV's?

[cjust2006]

Just throwing a broad question out there to see if people think my situation is normal or not...

Got the truck, pulled badly to the right. Got that addressed within first 500 miles or so. It was 90% better, and it really seems like any crown in the road is very pronounced in this truck. Drove for a couple thousand miles like this.

Took a 3,000 mile road trip, highway the whole time, in Conserve Mode. The rest of the time, I'm always in All-Purpose.

Decided to have them look at alignment one more time, and now it's even better.

I'm sitting now at 6,500 miles and noticing about 25% more wear to the front tires only. Given the info, and that EVs apparently eat tires faster, does this sound unusual?

If you run in Conserve most of the time, you will have uneven wear favoring the drive wheels (the front in Conserve).

Conserve mode will absolutely wear the fronts faster.

Yeah, knew it would, but figured with minimal accel/decel and just contatnt 70MPH, wondered if it was a bit much. Thanks for the reply.

What tires do you have?

I have 8500miles on my truck so far and commute in conserve 85% of the time. I will be rotating my tires this weekend and plotting the wear to see how things are going to end up...

Yeah, I don't MOST of the time, just on that one long all highway trip.
