if it was both tires, i would say it was your toe-in adj. (the easy one) since it's just one tire, i'd say it's the camber, or caster. Did it just recently start wearing down, or has this been a problem after installing a lift? hardcore wheeling done? just trying to see if n e thing was done to put the camber or caster outta whack

Edit* - where is it wearing at (inside edge, outside edge, all over)

There is no camber adjustment on XJs. I would check your balljoints and hub bearing.

yeah, was just testing u, hehe j/k. came back to change that, had a brain fart, was also going to post this

u did check ur tire pressure right?

*this is just side note, if u think about it though, and had extreme positive or negative caster, then your toe in would adjust the camber lol
