    Please refer to photos attached..

    I am noticing that the tread is wearing a lot more towards the outer portion of the tire. My alignment is perfect, it doesn't pull and I keep them inflated about 34 psi. I rarely take it off road. Regular rotations have been done.

    I do have the 5100's up front set at the highest clip (2" of lift) and the back on 1" blocks which to me looks like a more positive camber (just from looking at it) but my alignment guy says it's no issue and alignment is all good (I had my alignment checked by 3 different places)

    Am I just tearing through corners too quickly?

    How have yours been looking after about 30k miles?

    How often do you rotate? I found with my Duratrac's that they had to be rotated every 5,000kms (3,000miles) to avoid this. My steering, suspension and alignment was good.

    Doesn’t look too bad to me.

    I have 32,000 on my otherwise stock truck.
    -9/32" all the way across
    -rear cross rotation every 5,000
    -alignment at +2.3 caster, +0.5 camber, +0.05 toe
    -haven't aligned or balanced for 5 years
    -has about the same amount of cracking between tread blocks

    What size tire and what are your wheel specs?

    Measure the tread and post your alignment specs.

    They don't look bad in the pics but if you see the sides wearing faster than the middle, run higher psi.

    Yeah...
    A cross rotation evens out heel-toe wear.
    This is a sawtooth pattern in the tread blocks when viewed from the side. It usually affects the outer tread more.

    Looks like 60 + thousand miles will be had with these tires. Really damn good considering.

    Looks like some toe wear on the outside but, still not bad for 35000 miles. 7000 between tire rotation is definitely a contributing factor. maybe a tad bit under inflated also.

    Looks really good for the mileage in my opinion. The only thing I don't like about these tires is how they wear. I need to go check mine now.
