Big lug tires driven on pavement like you do need frequent rotations, and the alignment needs to be spot on. A less aggressive tread with some siping would serve you better.

I've had the wheels on since late June, and the tread on the outer tires are already at 50%. I'm not complaining, just shocked that they're wearing down so fast. I think what I'll do to make this all right again is get another set of 2, rotate the rears to the front, put the new ones on the rear, then get the alignment I was suppose to originally get. Then I'll take those two tires from the front and use them for my spare rim should I ever need it for a flat or something. Hopefully that solves the problem.

The wear is definitely associated with lack of alignment. Whenever changing ride height, you have to do an alignment, you can blow through a set of tires in a few thousand miles with toe being off.

Your offset is also incorrect with how the wheels stick out like that. When the offset changes it will affect the camber as well. Outer edge wear is camber related.

I don't think offset should affect camber.

It does. The further the wheels stick out the camber will not be the same anymore. Hence why the outer edges are wearing.

Wrong offset with no fender flares will also lead to the sides being rock chipped to hell and back.

Twice as many brake pads too. But at least I'll have peace of mind with this kind of stopping power.
Does this change how much force you need to push down into the brake pedal? I was kind of shocked with how much force I needed to use to bring my XL to a stop, but I'm a truck novice and didn't want to embarrass myself by asking the dealer.

I've been buying wheels since the late 80's, and worked in the automotive industry for 15 years, so I already knew the offset was "incorrect". But did I care... No. I wanted this wheel because they were unique, 2-piece and I really liked the elegant design. I also didn't want to blend in like everyone else with today's positive offset wheels or cheap cookie cutter designs people tend to gravitate to.

I'll make the corrections needed to re-adjust the camber, and then move on... It really isn't a big deal.

Is anyone here an expert with the vehicle settings in the 2021+ Yukons? I'm trying to figure out some lighting issues.
