Which wheel causes the most tire wear on your vehicle? It looks like on my D2, its the Right Front.

On all wheel drive vehicles, generally both front tires do wear more then the rear because they are applying power as well as turning.
Having 1 tire wearing more then the others generally is a sign of some type of problem.
Wear on the either sides of the tire then it's a misalignment.
wear on both sides of tire it's under inflated
Wear in just the middle the tire is over inflated
Cupping, chunks torn then it's loose suspension parts like ball joints and such.
I rotate my tires every 6k miles and I don't have any wear issues.

Rup, My front right wore out a lot faster than the others. I think Chris is right though. I never rotated the tires (40K).
I will now for sure (Duh)!!:eek:

Agree. I also rotate with every service. 20k miles of hard use and no problem with my Silent Armors at all, so far. No bad wear patterns, no chunks missing or cuts, no vibration, no wobble, no thread noise at all and I have lots of thread life left in them.
