i had a set also and my alignment was out. i was waiting for the rest of my front suspension to come in before i did an alignment. the front wore out in 1000 miles. not a "oh you can see a diff but, i need new tires". besides that, i had no complaints

how can you complain about a tire wearing out when you knowingly drove on them with misaligned suspension componeants?

i never said i was complaining. they just wore out really quick even though it was misaligned. they just went from new to junk in a 1000 miles. i would still buy them again if i didnt like my maxxis bighorns so much.
