Strange tread block wear

[3VILC]

Got some odd wear on my front tyres, on the inner row of blocks, all the even blocks are worn lower than the odd blocks, but are all flat not feathered or uneven. This is only on the fronts and only the insides. Any ideas what would cause this? Tyres are nankang n889s in 33x12.5s

yep happened to me as well was told my tyre rotation was not frequent enough should of being doing a rotation every oil change
I have started doing that and the tread ware seams to be a lot more even

A mate had that on his L200 ute running Firestone ATX tyres.

The tyre guy told him his shocks were worn and caused the unusual wear.

Don't know if i believe that or not

your shocks are worn replace them. i see it alot it wears every second lug out because the suspension has nothing to stop it from bouncing

whats sort of life should you be getting out of shocks.. i know safaris kill them a bit quicker due to where they are attached.. but surely should see more than a year out of a set. although i'd believe it with the state of the roads round here

The life of your shocks could be anything, pop one end off all of them all and push the shaft in and out and see if they still have any dampening in them
