Reply With QuoteI have an '04 Yukin XL. Needed an alignment at about 20k miles. Steered to the right. All okay now though.
Anyone else notice adverse front tire wear on the late model ('03-'05) Tahoes or Yukons? A co-worker who bought a '05 has rapid wear on the inside of the fronts, after just 5,000 miles. Said that another friend had the same situation on an '05.
I checked mine and also have some major wear and minor cupping along the inside ridge of both fronts. (11,000 miles) Stock Bridgestone Duelers, 17", never towed with it.
I put stock size Eagle Alloys on the front, but the others with this problem are factory stock wheels.
Anyone else have experience with this? Is this a warranty issue?

In the 11k miles you drove.....have the tires been rotated...?
I noticed the same problem but I thought it was because I have wide tires and they were rubbing when I was turning. :idea:
Yep! Sure did. Have an 03' Yukon. Thought I was doing right when first purchased. All oil changes at 3k miles. Also rotated tires at same intervals. Then about 30K I finally noticed. Both steer tires inside were cuping. Thoght tires were shot. Also realized the rears were the same way. Took down and had an allignment and "trued" all four tires (shaving). Reversed the tires and no on merry way. Cost was less than 100.00. Good luck!

Tires rotated at service.

Doesn't warranty cover alignment problems at such low mileage?
Had that issue w/my '01 2wd. Got the wear even w/reg. rotation and align check. Haven't noticed it on my '05 4wd, and have just over 10k on 17s.
