| We purchased this vehicle new from a dealer. the truck now has approx. 14,000 miles and the tires need to be replaced. after taking it to a mechanic i was told that this make has some issues that cause the tire to wear down on the inside. i should not have to replace the tires at 14,000 miles. dealership gave answers like depends on driver, road conditions, etc. none of these explain the premature wear of this tire. i am not alone in this problem. *tr | |||
