Tire wear on inside front passenger bfg

[medicrn]

So I changed out my front pass side BFG AT for my brand new spare today because tire was worn to a slick on the inside while the outside is like new. What does this mean?

Going in for alignment tomorrow and tire rotation, also getting two rear tires new valve stems cus shiny trd metal valve caps are fused to valve stems.

most likely poor alignment.

So the alignment job tomorrow will fix it?
I'm also guessing that other tire it useless but for emergency spare?

That is some really bad alignment issues. You should have noticed that while driving. The outer edge of tire either barely or never touched the road. When they are that bad you can look at it in the parking lot and tell it needs an alignment. (top of tire leaning in severely):whipping2: But I would have to say be ready to shell out $$ to replace bent or worn out suspension parts get it to align.

You could save money on alignment, flip tire on rim and wear out other edge. You will get more miles out of tire. J/K :jump:

It never drove differently. It wasn't noticeable till I was pulling flood cars out of storm floods two weeks ago seeing the tire up close (getting under front of truck hooking up tow rope). How much u think $$ is?

See if the shot can align it first...then worry about buying new parts later... bushings and stuff aren't much money but labor to install them is kinda pricey.

After 108k miles I don't think I've ever had alignment done ever. Unless that's something that Toyota service does with scheduled services...

Typically not unless you requested it.

Could be just a bad alignment, not bent or worn parts. I'd just align it and have then rotate the tires should be ok. But they may not rotate because of tire wear.

How many miles did the tire see in that front right position?

The front pass tire is the most susceptible spot on the vehicle for irregular wear, but it would have had to be there for a very long time to get that kind of wear without having an alignment problem, if that were even possible.
