I have an 05 Chevy Silverado with 42000 miles on it, the tires are shot. The truck is used for pulling a boat on weekends and a trailer to haul wood in the winter. The tires have been rotated at 20K because the front tires were wearing quicker then the rear tires. I had it in for inspection and the front tires are almost to the threads on the inside only in the front any guess as to what may be causing it?

I bought the truck new, the tires are not wearing even only on the insides, I never even noticed it until I took it in for inspecton. However I have felt something in the steering when I go around turns especially.

Maybe front end out of alignment That will be a good place to start, hope this helps.

Don't over think it.
You're adding a lot of weight to the truck and possibly the trialer brakes are not sharing the braking load like it should.
Your front tires are the primary stopping force of all cars and trucks. If you are also trying to stop a veavy trailer, and the load in it, of course your tires are going to wear out faster.

GMC is the better version of Chevrolet. the backside style GMC has extra customary strategies than the backside style Chevy. that's the comparable as you progression up the manufacturers. the top of the older GMC autos grow to be the C3 or Denali which had the intense output engine, 4 wheel steerage,maximum suitable of each and every thing, etc...there grow to be no Chevy truck that in comparison. GMC makes purely autos, no longer something...even even with the incontrovertible fact that all of that they are in truth comparable aside from strategies and a few trim aspects/strategies.

Chevys are not even half the worth of what they are sold for. 05 are terrible for wearing out the tires. what the truck is used for doesnt help either. after getting new tires, have the truck aligned and rotate tires every oil change

Alignment...If they are wearing in the middle with the tread uneven, that is a sign of blown shocks..there is more weight in the front. that extra weight causes the front tires to wear faster. You shoul rotate your tires every 5000 miles. 420000 miles is good for truck tires.

What's the problem?
Buy tires and keep haulin'!
The trailering will increase tire wear, especially if the boat puts lots of download on the rear, as loads of wood will

If the shop says that every thing is ok...Then your problem maybe in the trailer. If the tonge is bent or the alingment on the wheels are offf....then it will pull your truck like the alingment on it would, and then the shop has nothing to find.

did you buy this truck, NEW?? if not the truck couldve been wrecked in the front. if you havent already, take your truck and get the front end alignment checked by a professional. your tires should last longer than 42k miles.
