Inside tire wear

[Fishtaco]

So ok notice inside tire wear on left front but it drives with zero steering issues at any speed.
All Tires are Wranglers and not too old by the looks of it except left front looks older on the sidewall.
I cant get Wrangler ATs in OZ anymore so will have to go Duratracs which are pretty expensive here and have to order them in (12 days).
Would it look odd with only 2 Duratracs on the front?
I will get tire shop to check wear problem.

Cheers

What is your toe set at?

Yes, it will look weird with only Duratacs in the front.

When is the last time you rotated your tires?

Only had it 6 months but I would suggest they have never been rotated! didnt notice the wear before I think because of the export bumper end caps being so low.
Be a bit of a waste to scrap 3 perfect tires.
The Duratrac dont look that different in the pics on line.
Maybe I should buy a set of cheap ATs until I decide if I want 31,s on or not?

I mean it might look weird, but it doesn't mean you can't do it.

I've never seen the other tires you mentioned so I can't comment.

Just do it in that case. Might as well

If you have inside tire wear, you most likely have a toe out condition.

 

[JEEPCJTJ]

If only two Duratacs in the front look too weird. Put them both on the same side. Problem solved...unless you have some kind of limited slip.

Ok back from work 12-15 hours in front of you guys in Perth! (8hours for our UK friends)
The Tires I have on are no longer available Looks like the PO accepted a deal on old stock and didnt get an alignment so I now have to scrap 3 almost new tires just because one is furked so should I go 31,s on a stock no lift? if so can I have the same or similar width (235)? Disadvantage of 31,s on a stock TJ 15,s?
4 Duratracs are going to cost me $1200au and a 15 day wait so I might go for a cheaper A/T non white lettering tire given 99% of my use is on road and the Duratrac is almost a muddie and almost an A/T. Any advise before I go forth and splash sum cash.

Spend 5 minutes and check your alignment or 10 minutes and align it yourself, before you put new tires on.

Can you get Cooper Tires in the OZ? They seem to get good reviews and are fairly cheap, of course that’s at Wallymart.

My tire fitter as offered to do it for free if I buy 4! You seem to know given the amount of tires you have swapped, should I go 31,s on my stock? It only gives me 1/2 an inch at the diffs.

Cheers

the P/O got these Wranglers at Kmart along with a new battery lol I can get 4 decent A/T,s for the price of 2 Duratracs at my local tire place with warranty 2 free rotations fitting balance and he will throw in the alignment because I am a regular.
I just hate to waste near new tires because I cant get a match for one bad one ( 2 is my minimum on any Vehicle)

I’m not a fan of the Wranglers (weak sidewalls) and the Duratracs get good reviews on the forum but I hear they don’t get a lot of miles out of a set compared to BFG’s

Think I will go with the BFG's I have the offer on, It was nice to have the Wrangler white lettering on an all black Wrangler though and possibly the P/O thought?

The Wrangler is the factory tire so maybe he was just going with the easy choice. 31’s would probably be ok but why not do a 1” coil spacer to be sure although new shocks might be necessary...and so on...and so..

This is the trouble! My stock does everything I want it to do and most of my driving is on road, The few times I take it on soft sand I believe the width of tire is better than the height. maybe because I have been used to so many stock 2 wheel drive LSD vehicles with wide tires over the years? Perth Australia is a "Sand Pit" go off a road shoulder and you are bogged.
LSD all the way!

I prefer 31s like the stock Rubicon comes with. It's all a personal choice. I hated the Goodyear MTR/K tires my jeep had on it when I first bought it.
