Outer Tire Lugs Chewed Up

[nU7OuxIx]

I'm getting my Jeep ready for summer trips and noticed that the outer tire lugs are somehow mangled up. I have another tire similar to it but it's not as bad. I was wondering if anybody knew what caused this. I do 5 tire rotations and I think that these were the two front tires that I had up there.

It's a 2021 with about 16k(?). It's relatively low miles. I also have had steering wander/issues. I tightened up the driver side lower ball joint and everything else was to spec. I also got an alignment as my toe was 0.19* driver and -0.10* passenger with a 0.14* steer ahead. Now the alignment is 0.06* driver, 0.03* passenger and 0.01* steer ahead.

And lastly, should I be concerned? Should I complain to my dealer and show them the before alignment numbers and the tires? When I had tire issues in the past, the dealers have been like 'not my problem, go through firestone'.

Thanks

If you wheel them in the rocks, you will see a lot more of that. I have entire lugs missing. If they get bad, you may want to have them rebalanced.

Guilty as charged. I've wheeled in the quarry pit at badlands offroad park in indiana. I think it was an old limestone(?) quarry. I've also driven on a lot of gravel and dirt roads up in nothern Wisconsin and the UP.

Just want to make sure it's my fault and not something else I should be looking at. I'm ok with that. Thanks!

Kinda like this? These Yoko’s starting doing this on my 1st wheeling trip and progressively got worse.
