I have the 99 f 150 and the tires on the front seem wear quicker than the back is this normal. I know they always say the tires on a front wheel drive wear quicker. Also what kind of air pressure do most of you run in your trucks.

 

On the stock tires you should run them at 35psi. If you upgrade to bigger tires, or LT rated tires, 40psi works well.

You need to rotate these tires every 10,000km or so to spread out the wear. It is common for the tires to wear different ways because the way in which the suspension articulates is different from the back to the front axle - one being a solid axle, the other being independent.

Maybe you didn't type what you were really trying to say, but your truck is rear wheel drive if you didn't already know that.

 

Thanks I knew the truck was rear wheel I was just referring to what they say about front wheel drive cars. The tires are 245x75x16

 

I run my tires at 40psi but they are 285/70 17s. At our shop we rotate every 5,000 miles. When was the last time you had them rotated? Also, how are they wearing faster? The tires overall or a specific side on the tread?

 

IF you look in your door you should see a sticker that will tell you what your psi should be. the other thing you might want to look into is an alingment, and with that you would also want to look for worn or bent parts camber which is how the tires are are angled top to bottom and toe which are side to side angles those are the two that will wear your tires. If you let us know how your tires are wearing we might be able to help you little more and also how oftne you rotate them.

 

What load range and max pressure are the tires you have on. No one can correctly answer what pressure to use with out that info. Brand and model will also help.
