Tire problem #1

On our 2016 Toyota Tundra 4x4 crew cab truck my tires are already worn out. They only have 17000 miles on them. The tread on the tires are 5/30 2nd. We rotate every 3000 to 5000 miles. We purchased this truck for towing our 20 ft trailer and have taken 3 short vacations (about 1 week each) and there is hardly any tread left on them. We are senior citizens and do not drive recklessly. Please advise on what to do with taking these on more trips. I do have pictures of my tires if needed.

Tire Tread/belt problem #2

The contact owns a 2016 Toyota Tundra equipped with kumho road ventures tires, size: 275/65r/20 (na). The contact stated that the vehicle experienced severe shaking due to the steering column while traveling approximately 65 mph. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the tire tread shifted on the passenger side tire. The manufacturer was contacted and did not assist. The dot number and tire and vehicle failure mileage were not provided.
