Bad tire wear on single tire
I have a 95 xj with 210k out it. It has a 4.5” lift with 31x10.5x15s. I have a bad wobble/vibration between 45-55mph. And my front passenger tire is wearing faster and very oddly. There are some high and low spots but it doesn’t seem consistent around the entire tire. This is my daily and would love to keep her on the road for many years. Please help

Jack up the front end. Support it with jack stands. Start wiggling stuff.

Sounds like you have a suspension component that is going/gone bad. cruiser54 gives you the easy way to start. Without seeing it, it could be anything from a wheel hub to a control arm or shock. You will have to find it! Might be able to narrow it down if you posted a picture. Or you could google "tire wear patterns and causes" and look at the examples you see. Good Luck

The wear, as described, but not the rate, suggests that shocker. Of course, it could just be the tyre itself & a vibration you can drive out of (we used to call it wheel wobble) can usually be cured by having the offending tyre (re-)balanced. But, armchair diagnoses are highly speculative.

The only way you're gonna find what you're looking for is to GO LOOK!
Around the Jeep that is. In these parts, we call it "noggin pokin".
That's where you use your God given senses to inspect YOUR Jeep for problems. We can only provide you with guidance as to where to poke your noggin.
There's no Silver Bullet cure you're gonna find from a keyboard, mouse and monitor.
