Tire Wear
I noticed tire wear on the outside edge of the leading tire on the curb side, which is the heavier side of the rig by 266 lbs. All other tires appear to have normal wear. Prior owner stated rig has a...
Prior owner stated 5000 miles and I don't think it was rotated. Learning here, what is the tire bead, and where on my tire is it noticable. Thank you sir.

sorry I wrote beed thats not what I ment. I am going to back up a bit and say that may be normal from new or it may have developed. there is a difference.
this is what I was refering to, now before people go crazy and say that is normal, I have learned it is normal, especialy in goodyear endurance tires, but if your new tire doesnt have them and they develope then it is a concern as it is mostlikly a broken sidewall belt (thats what I ment to write not Beed) you havent had them from new so you cant be sure and that tire is pretty much done as its almost at the wear indicator, I would say its hard to believe there is only 5000 miles on that tire but who knows, if it is an alignment issue it could have been scuffing all 5000 miles. some times as a tire ages weird wear patterense come out also but to me a close up looks like it has had a sideways force scuffing the tread away when I zoom in on that warn down edge. I could be out to left field though.
