Re: Dak OE Tires

I have a theory about Dakotas with abnormal tire wear. I spectulate that
the owners who have trouble did not order the HD shock option on their
trucks. If this is true, it's not the tires that are defective, but the OE
shocks are under-damped. This would cause the abnormal tire wear, with
good frontend alignment. Try replacing the shocks with a good LT gas shock
to see if it makes a difference.

My 4x4 with HD shocks has 55K on the original Goodyear Wrangler ATs. I do
rotate them once in a while, probably every 15K miles.

Anyone with the HD shock option have abnormal tire wear?
