I have a set of falkin 295 50 20 tires on this truck and after about 15000 miles they started to make this humming nosie and they have uneven wear towards the inside of the tires. So my question is what do I need to do to resolve this issue. Besides buying new tires. Will a alingment fix this issue?

Hi:
4x4's are hard on tires, especially if they are an agressive tread designe. Yes, and alignment may help, but cupping can be caused by bad ball joints, shocks, or other steering components. Just make sure that before having an alignment, that all components are good and tight. Most alignment mechanics check the components prior to an alignment; however, I'm sure some don't take the time.
