Ok, I have question about tires wearing funny on my jeep. I have already checked unit-bearings, ball joints, and took it to the alignment shop everything is good. Tire shop said it was the lift and not running the proper amount of air in them. I have about 10" of lift and 37" boggers running around 18 lbs of air in the front to get them run flat, but they are wearing evenly funny. Inside of the tire is wearing the same as out side but the trailing edge of the lugs are wearing faster than the leading. The best way to describe them is paddle tires, not as bad of coarse. What could be causing this?
 
I think it has something to do with that jeep thing and I don't understand idk man boggers do tend to wear funny no matter how u run them
 
Rotate them. The front (undriven) tires will wear like that no matter the vehicle. You're just seeing the exaggerated affect with the large lugs of the boggers. FWIW, trailer tires do it as well. The bad part though is the boggers being a directional tire can only be swapped front to back. They'll smooth out a bit being on the driven axle, but not as well if they were rotated in an "X" pattern.
