What's it all about when you sort it out, Alfie?

It's a riveting experience.

you can solve the problem with a Turbo Encabulator,as explained here :

Awesome, guess thats what happens when you use the mobil app with fat fingers!

I was asking about tire rivering, darn auto correct does strange things

I assume this is happening on your steer tires? What brand tires are you running?

the ones Fred Flintstone uses, Bridge-Stones...

I would suggest starting here . . .MD Alignment Services, Inc.. They will not do an alignment until they make sure everything is right from the axle ends out. You'll want to go in with your bad tires still on the truck. That way they can see the wear pattern.

I thought I had posted another comment here? Maybe not .....

With the truck stretched as it is ..... you might consider the Ackerman Theory to the tire wear.

Over constraint happens when too many forces are trying to locate components. You will recall this priniciple from another rule of thumb – the three bearing rule. As you know, we never put three bearings on the same shaft because if they aren’t perfectly aligned, they will tell the shaft to go to different locations and the shaft will bind. The same applies to steering. The toe out on turns is telling the car to turn about a point a the intersection of the spindle axes. This is fine, because that is an exactly defined location. The complicating issue is that the rear tires are in line with each other and expect the car to pivot about a point on their axis. The result is two requirements. The only compromise that works is to ensure that the axes of the spindles, and the axis of the rear axle all cross in exactly the same location. The way to make this happen is to ensure that the axis that runs from the steering axis through the tie rod end crosses the rear axle at dead center. When this is accomplished, all three of the necessary axes cross at mutually agreeable locations, and the car steers in a predictable manner.

I had the "rivering" problem on a set of Yokohama steer tires last year. I had it into front end shops, had md alignment check out the alignment and front end. Everything was good. I talked to a number of tire men about the problem and only had one give an answer that sounded plausible. He said that the second rib is where the steel belts from the sidewall and the the belts from the tread meet. According to him, if there is a mechanical problem in how the belts join, it will show up as rivering. Since I could find nothing mechanical on the truck, I replaced the steers and now have over 80,000 miles without having the problem again, so I have to give some credence to his explanation.
