Default Sidewall wear alignment issue?

Stock 2016 tires. Perhaps my eyes are playing tricks on me, but the fronts appear to be wearing better towards the sidewall than the rears. The steering wheel seems OK and doesn't wander much at all from what I can tell. Thoughts?

How fast do you turn corners?

Probably just as fast as anyone else. I don't make it a point to turn corners fast. Is that what the tire wear is indicative of? Thanks.

I have a 2017 Lariat that came with 20" Good Year Wranglers. They had the same issue. I had the alignment checked by the dealer and it was correct. They wore on the shoulders. I replaced them with Michelins at 31k.

^^^ And make sure they are inflated properly. How many miles are on them?

Front tires tend to wear the shoulders more and rear tires frequently wear more in the center of the tread.
Keep them rotated and you should be able to even it out, for the most part.

Proper inflation is is also important.

Wearing on on the shoulders can also be indicative of low tire pressure....barring that, it’s time to rotate them.

I rotated mine every 5,000 miles and they were inflated properly. With the Good Years I also had a vibration at about 78 MPH they could never resolve.
