tire wear

I ONLY HAVE 9000 MILES ON MY 3400. ONE OF THE MISSION TIRES DRIVER SIDE BACK TIRE WORE BADDLY ON THE OUTSIDE TREAD STARTED TO SEPERATE REST OF THE TIRE LOOKED NEW. I REPLACED IT AND NOW THE TIRE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS WEARING ON THE EDGE TREAD ALSO I KEEP THE RECOMMENDED PRESSURE IN THESE TIRES AT ALL TIMES COULD THERE BE A ALLIGNMENT PROBLEM HOW DO YOU TELL, AND WHERE WOULD YOU TAKE IT TO GET IT FIXED RIGHT. NOT A TIRE SHOP I DON'T THINK THEY . THE PASSENGER SIDE TIRE IS ON THE OTHER AXLE FRONT TIRE MAY SEEM TO ME LIKE PIVOT TURNING IS WEARING OFF THE TREAD.

There have been many posts on Mission Tires.
Call Tireco the distributor for Mission tires and talk to them about your problem.
Tireco have sent some members free replacements.
Here's their Number : 800-937-9433

I could be wrong but that wear pattern sounds to me like an axle alignment pattern rather than a tire problem. It's not uncommon.

Look for a good body shop that has the equipment for axle alignment. We had similar wear on our 3295RK and had it realigned at Bud's Body Shop in Elkhart, IN. They did a good job on ours, excellent, actually, but someone else reported a bad experience at that shop.

I'd call around to body shops and ask if they have the equipment to align fifthwheel axles. If they hesitate at all, keep looking.
