Default Tire Wear

When I took a look at my tires tonight I noticed the inside looks a lot more worn than the outside (have Toyo T1R 255/35/19). Should I swap my right tire and put it on the left rim and my left tire on my right rim? If anyone agree's to that my next step would be going to get an alignment as soon as possible, and hopefully, that will solve the problem. Btw, I have no drop so no camber issue at this moment.

You should just get an alignment. If the wear is too bad, swap the tires.

Swapping will work and allow you to get more wear out of them.

Not sure about Toyos, make sure they're not asymetrical and don't allow for swapping inside/outside. They will be marked Outside.

It's a "parallel switch" on unidirectional ones, so no problem. On asymmetrical ones it's a different story, like DavesZ points above. Determine that issue, dude. G'luck!

Are you saying that your tire failed due to unequal wear? How many miles on the tires, age of the tires, and make/model of the tire?
