Default Excessive Tire Wear

My wife's GX has 15000 miles and the two front tires are worn almost to the chords on the insides. The tires have never been rotated. The rear tires are liek new. The truck does not pull in either direction that would indicate mis-alignment. Is this typical of GX's?

My wife's `04 GX470 has a little more than 15K miles and the tires are still in very good condition. The tires are Dunlops and I think they were rotated at 10K miles.

hey its not typical at all. i just changed mine at 65k coz i wanted to get 20" installed... mine can still run another 10k.. i had duelers... but 15000 is way too low for dunlops... ur alignment is definately out... (the car doesn't neccesseraly pull, if the alignment is equally out on both sides it still keeps the car straight)
u should definately get alignment done and i would recommend going to the dealership.
