Tire Wear!!!!!!!!!

Hey guys, merry xmas eve....

I was lookin at my two front tires today, and the rubber around the outside of them (the side away from my truck) is really worn down. Like it looks kinda shaved to the sidewall. Now im sure this has BEEN happening but ive never really noticed it. I was wondering wheter this is normal from cornering, going fast etc...or are my tires outa allignment???

Thanks guys

I think our Lightnings tend to pull to the Left from the factory - mine are worn more on the outer edge ... Ford "aligned" it, but I think that they didnt do it right - still pulls to the left.

Anyone else want to chime in?

they eventually come out aligment. Do you have the Clunk fix? If not that would be a cause for it I think. I also need to get the washers and the cam bolts.

Take the turns a little slower

Seriously though, I'd get a set of slotted washers as pre-clunk preventative maintanence, and then get an alignment.
