All 4 of my tires are wearing faster on the outside than the rest of the tire. I’ve towEd a 7000lbs trailer about 300 miles. Otherwise normal driving. They are the stock Hankooks.

Any thoughts on what would cause this

Outside as in the sides facing away from the vehicle, or outside as in both outside sides of the tire tread but not the center? The former could suggest an alignment issue, the latter an inflation issue.

I've also noticed my stock Hankooks AT2 are starting to show outside wear with only 2500 miles of normal driving,

I'll be changing them for new Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs. We are obliged to have tires with the snowflake for winter driving here in Quebec I'll make sure they check the alignment after the install.

If front end rear are wearing unevenly I don't think I would suspect alignment?
