tire wear

I noticed on my front tires that the inside tread track on each tire seems to be wearing slightly uneven. I keep the air pressure at 60 pds. in front and 55 rear. The fronts are 245s, the backs are 265s.

More than likely its from not being rotated. the IFS front ends of the 2wd trucks is notorious for wearing the inside edge. It could be alignment related but more than likely you need to match tire size front and rear and rotate the tires ever 5-7K

So I need 265s on the front as well?

My truck is bald on the inside of the front tires.

And, of course, I have different totally tires on the rear as well.

Can I ask you how often you rotate your tires?
