tire wear

Rotate your tires more often too,like around 4000 miles. My rears have benn wearing faster which is the norm for RWD but the fronts can wear a bit quicker if you corner on them hard frequently.

I've heard a lot of places that if you want to get good milage out of your mud tires that you need to rotate and balance every 3000 miles. This is so no wear patters appear, and so you make sure that the tires are always balanced, so they aren't out of balance and wearing wired because of it.

We LOVE to disagree, dintcha know? Me and Beartracker had a major
egofight over tires not long ago, but we're still friends.
Actually, when you get different answers that all make reasonable sense, it generally means different people have different results.
On my vehicles the fronts tend to wear out much sooner, and the fronts wear the shoulders off quicker - my daily drive is a curvy mountain road and I push it a bit. My GF tires wear dead flat, evenly front and rear - her daily commute is 65 miles each way on the only long flat straight stretch of Interstate in Oregon...

People drive different and the area can make a big difference. Here in south central WV where I live is nothing but mountains and some real bad hairpin curves. You drive on great pavement for a while and then on hard limestone gravel or dirt all the time, Really hard on any tires.
I can guarantee you that the front will wear much faster than the rear and the best thing you can do around here is check your tire preasure all the time
And rotate , rotate often! Mike
