well took it to the dealer last monday and they did an alignment on it and said the toe was off a bit, their excuse for it was that it was properly chained down the the transport truck too tight..i smell a little bs there but so far so good guess ill just have to keep an eye on it and keep up with the rotations, hopefully thats the end of it

My OEM Wranglers were on the wear bars at 30K miles. No harsh treatment or aggressive driving either.

Toe can get out of specs on a pothole,curb and such. If you bump the wrong thing the right way that alignment that was just done can be slighly out of spec again that fast. I'd also X pattern on your tire rotations. I like doing that more then just front to back. I just had the toe set on my 2009 for chopping the right front. My right rear had it some also because thats all that was being done on my rotation. Front to back. and toe obviously off for a while. I Xed them this past time. Some tires with wide cleated tread cup some even if alignment is ok.

What have you been keeping your tire pressure at?

I run 35 front and 30 rear. I have 42,000 on my Goodyears and they look like still a fair amount of miles in them. By no means worn out.
