I back the philosophy that 2.08 slope is enough to shift a load and wear an outside tire faster.
OK I would go with that but not all roads are supered that way and you don't drive in a line all day long.
But that was not his point or mine please re read it and mine....
Looking at the back of a truck you have tires 1-4 so like this
12---0---34 and what I was talking about was on a flat road how can tire 2 and tire 3 carry more of a load if the axle is not bent. The road is put down flat but at a 2.08 slope and all 4 tires should hold the same load. That is why on a DRW you need to replace all 4 tires at the same time, if you don't the taller tire will hold more of the load and over heat then blow. AS for what you are saying its like Nascar using two to one out side tires but we never hit that kind of super or speed to make that difference.
After 60k miles on my Dodge and I only rotate F to R the L & R tires looked the same and it does a lot of towing and is loaded at about 8k all the time
