Tire wear question
I have a 2000 V10 4X4 with about 127K miles. In the last 7500 miles, new shocks, new ball joints, and alignment at the dealer. Also new Load E Revo's in the stock size. I am running about 65 lbs of pressure in the tires. I recently noticed the inside of the driver side tire is wearing quickly, even with what looks to be the beginning of some cupping. The inside of the passenger side tire is fine, the tire looks to be wearing evenly. The truck is not pulling either direction, it tracks straight in my opinion. I am not noticing the tires to be out of balance. To be honest the truck drives well, so I was surprised when I saw the inside edge of the tire.
I am not sure if I should go back to the tire shop, or to the dealer where the front end work was done. The alignment was done very soon after the new tires were put on the truck.
Any advise out there? Thanks.

When I bought my X this spring the old tires had that same cupping. I attributed it to the previous owner not having the hub unlocked, but donno for sure. I have a new set of tires on now and they seem to be wearing fine. Reach behind the front tires and see if you can turn the front spindle. If you can't the hub is locked. If not that then it could possibly be something with your camber adjustment. I'm sure someone else will jime in on that though.
