R1T Tires Worn at 6.5K mi

[TXR1SMD]

I'm at a bit of a loss...I admit maybe I should have been paying more attention but today was the first day that the weather was cool enough to drop the pressure and trigger my light. When I went to adjust the pressure, I realized that my front tires are completely shot at under 6,500 miles. The rear are totally fine. I've read about others on the forum with needing to replace tires sooner than expected, but I haven't found any this early. I never drive in Conserve, only All-Purpose. Right height is set to auto. 22" Sport wheels. I've had the truck since Dec 2022. One long-ish trip to East Texas but otherwise no big road trips.

First two pics are the of the front

This is the rear

Anyone had this much wear this fast? I'm not driving like a maniac. Is this just a tire that wears this easily or should I be worried about something else? At this point, I'm in it for two new tires at the very least, but I'm contemplating the idea of switching to a different tire and buying 4 if I will just be setting myself up for new tires every 6.5k miles if i go back with OEM.

I won't be of much value here directly, as I have 20", but I am at about 27k and have probably another 10k in tire still left. I 5 tire rotate about every 7-8k.

This def seems to be an issue with conserve mode, but as you said, you don't use it. I'm no help here, as I have like 100 miles on my R1S on 22s, but maybe you need an alignment?

Looks like alignment because the inside of the tire isn't worn but the outside is.

If you are not driving around town in conserve then you probably need to have the front alignment checked. I have 22s on my R1S, did my first rotation around 5500, have 10k miles on my truck now and all of my tires are still good. They have even wear and between 7 and 8 32nds left on the field tread.

I will say I check the tire pressure on the dash at least once a week and with a gauge every 3 or 4 weeks to keep them properly inflated.

It seems you've been driving for a while well below the recommended 48psi for the low pressure light to activate. Probably some alignment issues too. I had 22s too and was doing rotations at 5k and treadwear was looking good. Spirited driving??

I'd schedule a service appointment and see what they say. I had this issue on front passenger tire and they gave me a new tire and made some adjustments in the alignment.

That very much looks like an alignment and/or tire pressure issue. I’d have SC take a look at your alignment and go from there. That’s not normal tire wear.

Based on the sidewall marks on the front tire, it looks like it’s been very under-inflated for a little while.

Pressure hasn't been checked weekly, but I would say August was the last time I inflated any and they had all only dropped to about 45, equally, and I added air. I don't notice any pulling or vibrations. I asked at my last service appt about the camber looking off and they told me to disable kneel which I have had off since then. Pressures were all at 42 this morning after parking outside not in a climate controlled garage. Every time I have checked, the pressures were equally dropping but the wear definitely isn't

Kneel should not be an issue, I use that and it is only when parked and the first few hundred feet driving. Most neutral position is standard, I drive 90% of the time in all purpose standard.

I should clarify - they didn't indicate kneel was an issue, just that when the truck would kneel it could make it appear that camber was off when it wasn't

Common issue with adjustable suspension being driven at a height it wasn’t aligned at.

Rotate tires every 5k miles! Easy DIY. Think of this task as a good excuse/reason to buy nice tools, if you don't have what you need for a safe and easy job!

My front 21s are worn slightly more(1 to 1.5) on inside and outside. Rears are uniform and at 8. Checked around 6500 miles. If it was a tire pressure issue, it should have affected both front and rear tires. FWIW, lowest tire pressure I had was 44 psi. It never went below.

A couple of us from this forum were talking about my 5000 mile tire rotation. Can be found here:
