Tire wear on 2020 Ram 5500

[genepace696]

I've got a new Ram 5500 with 16k miles, it's got steer tires on front and drive s on the back, 19.5 aluminum rims. I've rotated twice from side to side and noticed that the front tires are wearing to the outside. I took it to the dealership and they checked the alignment and said it was fine, service writer said nothing could be done and I would be buying a lot of tires. Had a 17 Ram and cross rotated tires and never had a problem. Can anyone give me a solution to this problem?

Did they give you a printout of your alignment specs, or just tell you it was fine?

To me it sounds like you may have a bit too much positive caster.

They gave me a printout but it didn't have specs, just said that alignment was correct. I was told that toe in should be adjusted to 0

Their “specs” are a very large range set the tow to 0

Caster doesn't wear tires.

Caster doesn't wear tires.

Clearly you have never heard of scrub radius.... caster being to much one way will cause shoulder wear when the wheels are not 100% straight
