Default is this normal

Just wondering if any of you other guys notice this on your tires. I just put 2000 miles on them. And they are toyo at2s extreme 35x12.5 on 3rd gen aluminum wheels.Or am i just straight up tripping about this. I did have a alignment and ball joints were good when installed.

I have this wear pattern on the all tire sides and middle not sure if its normal but front of the tread is fine its the back is wearing

Hey YFZRUNNER,
This is a normal phenomenon that happens to Toyo open tread tires the more open the tread the more pronounced the wear will be. The problem is that the tread plies in the tires stop short of the actual tread footprint and creates a soft spot that actually bounces as the tire rolls on the pavement.

I have sold toyo tires for years but for some reason their quality has changed . I had a set that showed uneven tread and constantly needed to be re balance. I finally got my warehouse to give me a set of cooper at3s and the problem went away with no other adjustments or repairs to my truck. I used to swear by toyo but sadly that has changed. I hope this helps.

That sucks to hear but my uneven wear went away due to bad shocks . So far so good but i only have 2000 miles on tires.
