So, I have 20K on my tires and I just rotated them for the second time. I noticed at 10K that the fronts looked excellent, but the both of the rear tires had some pretty bad outside edge wear. The middle and insides looked like normal wear. So I rotated the fronts to the rear. At the time, the front tires had no edge wear whatsoever. Now the tires I just rotated off the rear have significant outside edge wear to match the ones from the front.

Any ideas what would cause this? I bought it with bald tires, and put these new ones on right away, so I cant say if this is a prexisting problem.

Tire pressures are all good.

Thanks
jason

It may indicate something worn in your suspension, or worse something is broken. The rear of the KJ is not adjustable, so for it to be out of alignment something has to have bent or broken. I would think wear like that is caused by the camber being off.
