They haven't worn evenly across the tire. You rotate your tires, keep them inflated properly, and do you have any pulling to left or right?
 
I get mine rotated and balanced about every 5000-6000 miles... mine is running good on all 4s so far... 9000+ miles

Sounds like a no rotate situation?
 
It does look like overinflation, my 22’s are wearing even
 
I have been running them at 40 psi, I guess that could be it . I have always run my tires on the high end .

I had the same problem, uneven wear in the middle on all 4 tires (6/32 on outside and inside, about 2/32 in the middle). 18K miles, rotated 4 times. Filed a complaint with Goodyear for premature and uneven wear and got $125 off per tire off a replacement set.
 
Mine are doing the same, the fronts are just like your picture. Mine have been rotated twice with 12,500 miles on the truck. I think my wear is from all the damn roundabouts I drive through daily, since the passenger side is much worse. I keep my pressures at 40 as well, per my dealer...
 
Far from an expert but my experience with wear due to over pressure is it's more centered. You might try to talk the dealer into doing a 4-wheel alignment to make sure the rear end is dead-on.

If he won't, it might be worth your while to have it done. 22's ain't cheap.
 
Over-inflated. Good part is, now you can do some "smoke shows." :D
 
Those have never been on the front? Has to be more than 40psi if it’s from over inflation. And the truck would likely drive awful like that.

My truck also has 22's and the Goodyear's ride great but are terrible they are set to the recommended psi which is 36psi cold. Did the first rotation at 6k miles and the rear look as if I had done burnouts everyday since I got the truck and wore bad in the center. The fronts are perfect, My bestfriend owns a tire and frontend shop here in town and says he see's it all the time with the Goodyear's. We just lowered the pressure down to 32-33psi cold but it's really aggravating to do that cause it handles a lil mushy now to me. O well I'll be replacing with some 305/45 nittos soon I guess.
 
Similar experience with my 22" on a Limited. Was wearing in middle but at 15k miles they are almost gone all the way all 4...glad the nail on the edge of the tread just accelerated their replacement. Anyone have any experience with Continental TerrainContact AT? Or some other hybrid on/off road tire?

I’ve been looking for a suitable replacement as well. Didn’t know they came in that size.
 
I have the same issue, these Goodyear tires are not long lasting... the pressure needs to be at 36 for these tires and anything over that causes this.... Needing replaced at 24K miles..
 
Yea same quick wearing on my limited too. My fronts are feathering pretty bad. I just had a leaky drivers side air shock replaced and aligned so hope this helps some,
