NO! NOT WRONG!!!!!!!!! He's only wearing one side......his alignment is out! If it was ONLY the crowning due to wheel width (which takes place over time, shorten life of the tire.......truly shows itself after about 30K miles) then ALL of his tires would be showing equal wear.

Yeah if he had a PU truck with a heavy load lol.
Pass that around please.
Couldn't agree more with ya. To many myths on the interweb. I just got 235/85/16s on my jeep. Im running 25 in the rear and 27 upfront. And based off of dirt and chalk, the wear is even. And im pretty sure running 3-3.5" wider tire than rim is perfectly fine especially if you offroad.
People who buy larger tires then try to use a stock or improper rim bring a lot of this on themselves. For that size tire at least a 15x8" with 3.75 of BS on them. With those the proper psi could be ran and the tires would be in good shape on and off road.

Here's what a long time tire expert and friend told me.
Begin with stock pressure recommended by the manufacturer for the stock tires.
Adjust up or down as needed.
Chalk test is best as it eliminates any guesswork/variances in tire types and so on.
You wouldn't catch me running any where near 40 PSI on any of my Jeeps, much less 45 PSI.

Pete,
Anytime you get to E TN you are welcome at my home for dinner. You come and drive my truck.
I learned to drive these winding mountain roads just like all the rest of the hillbillies.
My truck is well planted and my tires wear evenly.
For the rest of you, my truck is a work truck and it's common for me to carry 500 to 1000lbs daily.
For what it's worth......40lbs in the rear.
