Tire wear

Why would my right rear tire show more wear than the other three? Most of my mileage is from towing a travel trailer.

if it is an open diff, my first thought would be: teenagers?

if it is a lsd using clutch packs: one clutch pack tired?

and then: you haven't got your exhaust dumping out in front of your RR tire, do you? (good friend w/ F350/460BB had his exh dumping in front of the tire and blew a tire not long after on the way to the desert due to the exh heat getting into the tire) have you changed your exhaust? any chance you might be missing heat shield(s) where the exh passes by the RR tire? set tire pressures cold in the morning, borrow an infra-red thermometer, go drive for an hour on the fwy then pull over and check tire temps.

let us know what you find

Slow leak in that tire?

How is it worn? nice and flat, or inside only/outside only?

It appears to be nice and flat. I keep it inflated to the specs on the door.

Crazy thought -- maybe due to the roadway pitch, vehicle weight leans to the right, and the rear is where heaviest load is?
