strange front tyre wear

suggest front wheels are towed in and also shocks could be worn

Tyre pressure too high ?

Possible a shocker issue as outlined above. There was a very similar post within the last 2 months. Will try and find it.

I hope its not a shockie issue - I only replaced the old OME ones and put on Koni's maybe 2 years ago :-(
I did a bit more searching on the web and found it is most likely linked to the camber angle - which I guess would change when I put on the longer ARB springs many years ago.. I do recall the BFG's I had on previously wore more on the outside, but not as much as the MTR's are.

had the same dramas with wrangler mtr but on the inside.
an alignment soon sorted the trouble out . that was on my GQ

Your tyres have "scalloping". Its normal for tyres with an aggressive mud terrain pattern on the front end.

My tyre dealer talked me out of M/T for that very reason

I have a similar issue with my MTRs on my GU.The wear is not on the edges but there is uneven wear on the tread.Some blocks are worn while blocks next to them are not.Shock absorbers are in very good condition.people i ask cant work it out.

Rotate, Rotate, Rotate.

After many years I found a tyre guy I trust. He explained to me the value of rotating tyres. I tried it 'cause I trust him, I trust him 'cause he's right.

I have always thought that if my tyres wear out unevenly fronts wear quicker than rear or vice versa I would only be buying two tyres at a time.

The tyre guy I trust explained to me how that theory is OK on a road car with light tyres and well maintained suspension that never really works too hard. Once you increase the weight of the wheels and tyres the wear on the front particularly will be very uneven and can lead to an out of balance situation. The longer you leave it the worse it gets.

By rotating tyres, front to back, you square off the tyres that were worn unevenly on the front and they last more than twice as long. So I now rotate and I get the results I was promised.

Of course if you are already rotating your tyres regularly, then I haven't got a clue.

With larger tread blocks, you can get tread movement, which is normal, and often can look like incorrect toe adjustment.

Best bet is to ensure wheel align is ok, tyre pressures are ok, shocks doing their job, (usually the scolloping with shocks worn is larger than just one tread block as you have mentioned), and rotate them side to side to reverse the rotation.
then put them to the rear.
this will even up the blocks, and even out the wear.
But once you have worn your tyres, they will contunue to wear unevenly, rotating them prolongs their life, and allows for them all to wear at an even rate.

Interesting, my previous tyres (Cooper ST's) had this issue on my Prado. My current tyres BFG MT's do not....

I rotate every 5000km & the MT's tyres are currently @ 55,000km without issue.

Sadly it may be due to 98% highway use & very few roundabouts....

Thanks everyone for your advise - it has certainly helped with things I need to do.
