Default Re: 40 % wear on 37" toyos only after 8k miles, WTF?!

Clearly by tweaking the bars this effected the tread.

Has anyone else experienced this? What are the solutions?
My original Hummer tires easily lasted me 45,000 miles, at this rate the MT's wont last even 20k miles.

My last set of Toyo MT's lasted 48K miles and still had 3/16" worth of tread.

I rotated them every 3-4K miles and maintained my air pressure.

You need to do a little bit of preventative maintenance.
