Help Pls. - Question re. Rear End Toe Alignment & Tire Wear

[MAVXLT23_FTW]

@RR - All the way as for your question... I agree the individual tires aren't outside of spec, however they're both toe'd in, like this /\ and total toe is out of spec. Think of learning how to ski, how they teach you to make a pizza slice to slow down. To me, both tires toe'd toward each other is constantly generating friction (either on the tires, or on the axel, or both...) and the potential cause of premature wear.

It's sounding like the consensus though is that these measurements aren't that bad. My suspicion is that more frequent rotations is really just mitigating an underlying issue. Unfortunately, by the time I can tell whether or not the same issue is occurring with this new set of tires my truck will be out of warranty.

Thanks to everyone, wish me luck!

If your problem is not going to be fixed, and you’re going to put new tires on, then they will wear faster than they should.
The new tires will have a warranty that may be negated if you do not do due diligence to care for them.
So be sure to document your alignment efforts in order to show your due diligence, should a mileage claim be required.

@Larrythelunatic unfortunately (sortof) the set of tires I just had mounted don't have a warranty. They're actually a set of OEM tires that came with a set of Maverick steelies I bought to have snow tires mounted on. This way, I can swap them on myself when the weather changes rather than paying each time.

The upside is they were brand new and very inexpensive, so I'm not too worried about this set of tires from a warranty perspective, but I'd still like them to last as long as they should.
