Would running full pressure all the time, cause the tires to wear - strangely?

I run full pressure all the time and the fronts seem to scallop quickly. Maybe it's just the Hankooks...

I too run full pressure but pressures listed on the rubber not the truck. For me and my 285 yoko's it is 65 front and 70 rear - loaded or unloaded all year. I rotate every 10,000 km and have no wearing issues except age / distance related.

Running full pressure would make the centers of the tires wear before the outer parts of the tread, and running less would make the outer parts wear before the center area. Depends on what you pull with your truck. I usually run about 55-60 in load range E tires, and 50-55 in D's. Just make sure to check the sidewalls first.

Also, don't forget to rotate. I don't think you can rotate tires too much. I do every 5-8k for all terrain/all season tires. Remember you put your chopped up front tire on the back, and it should straighten right out.
