It'll be ok. Just wears the tread off. I just haul tools and I have a AC and the black tanks and grey tanks are all in the back

Please explain (not being sassy, I just genuinely don't understand) how the extra weight in the back leads you to have to change your front tires from excess wear? Wouldn't it be the back tires or am I not thinking about the physics of this right?

Thanks,
Angie

I think its the way the wieght is unevenly distributed. It cause the outsides of my front tires to go bald fast. I could be wrong but thats what I think it is. The alignment is good so I assumed it was that.

I am also not trying to be harsh but,
it's not ok and it's not going to be ok.
if you have to put tires on once or twice a year something is drastically wrong. lets get some more info,

what make, model van is this?
how much does it weigh? front and rear?
what brand, type, and load range tire are you running?
how many miles per year do you drive?

I want to emphasize again something is seriously amiss here. under no circumstances should you be replacing tires that fast. in a situation like this you are not only endangering your life but others on the road with you.
