You mean 2 of them have more wear in the center because the dumbass had them over inflated. How would bad ball joints wear the center of the tire

Had to add 3/8" spacers to the front.

Well every tire maker is going to measure slightly different. And I wasn't talking about the squish factor. A 35/12.5/20 sitting next to a 35/12.5/17 will be pretty much the same.

Please, fix EVERY issue on your truck before you even start looking at tires. Your truck is unfit to drive DO NOT DRIVE IT. There are more important things then aftermarket mods on your truck, one being having one in good running condition and not owning a huge peice of crap.
