Tahoe 8-cyl

Oem wilderness Firestone tires wearing unevenly. Alignment, balance, pressure, etc all in check. The inner wall wears unevenly causing road noise, vibration. No tire failure, yet. Spoke to discount tire reps. And they've seen it time and time again with these on Tahoe. Once a different tire is replace on the rim, the uneven wearing stops.
