Sawtoothing of Tires
For a while, probably in the last few months, since November at least... that my front tires are saw edging. I've got like 28k on the truck, but I've never rotated the tires, only because I don't care about the stock tires, so that is besides the point.
Anyhow, I am considering getting new tires, but I don't want to see my new tires getting saw edged too. Do I need a toe adjustment?
Or is it because I haven't moved them around?
Personally, I don't care for the stock tires, I'm just trying to get all the tread off these tires so I have a good reason to buy new tires. I hate to throw away even garbage tires with decent tread on them.

On most "decent" tires, you should be able to get MANY miles(upwards of 35k-40k) if you keep them rotated every other oil change(6000miles). I had a set of tires on my s10 way back when and was able to get almost 50k out of the tires. They were a Goodyear tire IIRC. Hate to see that you are abusing your truck like that. When you front end is out of line, you are just wearing parts that don't need to be. Hopefully your front end replacement bill wont be too huge!.

Well, I was told by many it don't matter what the suspension is set to, as it will kill the tires no matter what.
I don't really think having the tires on for this long is really doing much harm.
The saw edging is only like about 1/8 of inch on the farthest tread. You really have to look at it to notice it.
But the truck definitely tracks straight and is as tight as the day I bought it.
