Front tire wear after 27,000 miles
First time truck camper owner. Arctic Fox 1150 on a 2015 Chevy DRW. Handles and travels great. Has about 27,000 miles on the truck. 3/4 of that is probably with the camper on. Half of that towing...

Driving style, road conditions, climate and all the other stuff mentioned in other posts are a factor.
By climate I mean hot, cold, wet, dry, snowy. Taking a curve at 60 mph on a 100deg day on an abrasive roadway surface will take off a lot more rubber than other conditions.
I've experienced the best of least tire wear of any location I've lived (have lived in every US climate) up here in the PNW. Despite a lot of curvy roads, the fact that the pavement is wet (understatement) literally the majority of the year saves on tire wear.
Worst was living in Phoenix and also CO mountains where everything was a half hour jaunt or more down I 70, which is not a straight stretch of freeway, or winding state highways. I could roll a set of E rated wide tires on my half ton almost as fast as you guys with dooleys.
I'd bet someone running strictly over the road through the flat lands would experience much less outside front tire wear than someone "touring" wherever the road takes them.....per mile.
