Unusual tire wear

I have an 05 Tundra, a 4/4 D-Cab that I love. But the front driver's tire wore on the outside. Replaced two tires and checked the alignment. Alignment was OK, tire service center said. Then, four months later, the front driver's tire was bald on the outside edge, once again. Checked all wheels -- all checked out OK and alignment, too. Any idea what gives?

Here's a link to help you interpret your tire wear. Sure sounds like a Camber issue so try going to a different shop. HOW TO READ TIRE WEAR

Welcome to the site! it does sound like the camber is off... do you have a leveling kit? If camber is off slightly...it will happen. I would be surprised if the Shop even has the alignment specs for the 07 Tundra on their machine... they are probably doing it by eyeball. Its hard to find someone who can do that this day and age!

Chicks, the OP has an 05 Tundra.

I would try going to another shop to get an alignment. Sounds like they aren't doing it right.
