What kind of tire wear does a Dodge Ram have?

any thoughts are greatly appreciated. Rear tires, sever wear right rear outer edge of the tire, outer edge has worn down almost level with tread indicator. left rear is starting to wear, but not as bad as the right side.

Why does my rear tire wear on the outer shoulder only?

For tires not rotated, you can expect the inner part of the tread to wear faster. If both inner and outer edges are worn, the tire has been underinflated. For a rear tire to wear on the outer shoulder only is strange. My first guess would be that the tire started off on the front and began the uneven wear.

When do rear tires go to maximum deviation?

They get to the maximum deviation at about 5000 miles. If you rotate tires in a manner that reverses the direction of wheel rotation, it takes 5000 miles to get back to zero and then, if direction is not reversed, it takes another 5000 miles to get to the maximum deviation in the other direction.

When do the cords migrate in a radial tire?

Here’s something that might be useful, going forward. The cords in a radial tire migrate from the 90-degree position with reference to the bead. The tire rolls one way and the cords migrate the other way. They get to the maximum deviation at about 5000 miles.
