Driverside tire

Hey Guys
I new here to your boards, finally found a forum made for Tundras only!!
I just recently bought myself a 2004 Tundra, coulda gotten a newer one but it was a great deal to pass (second hand).
My question is, my front driver side tire seems a little slanted, is this something I should be worried about? or should I have it checked? Its not pulling to the left or to the right though. Allignment seems fine also.
I've seen Fords roaming around with the same slants on their driverside tire, figured it could be natual or could be something dangerous. Any help would be appriciated. Sorry with the question I cant seem to find the answrer for it.
I must say I found my new passion for 4x4's.
Thanks guys

Hey vibes welcome to the site.... I guess the tire could be leaning in such a way that it wouldn't pull left or right... is this a 4x4 ? and as for the fords they are known for having horrible toe in toe out / alignment problems hence why I never owned one...Iwould ask a professional (Warren Tire co) maybe pm him.
good luck

Welcome to the forum.

If the wheel is slanted, then the alignment can't be fine. It definitely needs an alignment done.

Its a 4x4 SR5 iForce.
Not to sure about the alignment but it does go in a straight line.

I would take it to a a trusted tire shop and have them look at it and give their opinion. They should have the all of the stock specs available and should be able to bring it to stock specs (if nothing is damaged).

Welcome to the forum too!

Just because it goes in a straight line does not mean the alignment is fine. The alignment will make sure the tire rides flat on the road by making the wheel sit on the truck straight up and down. An alignment will cost around $75 and will save you tons on tires down the road.

Hey Vibes and welcome to the Best Tundra forum on the web.

If I understand your problem it sounds like you may have a camber problem with the L/F wheel.
You should have the front end and alignment checked. Even if the truck is not pulling the alignment may still be out of spec's. Camber will cause tire wear in time.
