Why are my tires peeling?

Any ideas? I think the tires are jacked from the factory...but wondering if it's an alignment issue? Stock suspension and I have had 4 alignments in 6 months. I'm just a step away from installing my SSC's but until I get my money back from the company for the tires I'm staying stock :)

What rims and offset?

I would bet you are rubbing your tires on the inner fender lip on big bumps and the fender is cutting the tires.
 
I have only rubbed once :/ I thought that was it too at one point.

18" and 8" and 35mm offset.

Another reason why I was waiting for SSC's. I haven't rolled the fenders yet

You need to roll them pronto. No matter if you heard it or not, they are rubbing... and not just the 1 time either.

My tires did that on my truck before I rolled the fenders. Even if you think there is enough clearance, the back sags when driving, the fronts can rub on turns when the weight shifts, and even if you don't hear it... doesn't mean it isn't happening

This.

If it were the tires, you would see it in the inside as well as the outside of the tires. But I bet you only see it on the outside where the fender is.
 
Ya...I'm with you guys. (sigh). Lately I've been carrying a lot of people in the rear and didn't think much of the weight. Now that I've added it up...taking a corner with a fat kid isn't cool ;P Rolling tomorrow evening I hope :)
 


I have the same tires, and I don't have these issues. I concur that your rubbing hella. Plus you can see "slice" marks from the fender.
 
Welcome to the wonderful world of rubbing my friend. :)

Get those fenders rolled ASAP. I've procrastinated hard. Not, I regret it because my rear tires look like ****ing Freddy Krueger attacked them in their dreams. Yes, tires dream.

ur alive. no wai.
 
Ya...I guess I was driving for so long on a stock setup without issues I guess it just surprised me. I didn't expect to rub with stock suspension. Now with all the weight I drive around with I am sitting lower... So new springs and a fender roll for me ;P
