Not ALL trucks do this... I've got 31,000 miles on my 265/75/16 Goodyear
Wrangler RT/S tires, with only very slightly more wear on the outside when
in the front, which I attribute to hard cornering I do from time to time
(tire on outside of turn has all the weight on it) I also still have the
original shocks, even though they are in bad shape... I haven't found the
time to install my RS9000's The stock RT/S's will probably last to 50k, but
I'll replace them this winter if I'm not satisfied with their performance
anymore (so far they've been ok, but we've only had 1 small snowfall)
