Stay away from OEM. They are crap. Go check consumer reports and see who gets the good ratings and get ones with a warranty. Several here have mentioned good tires to get and I would start with those.They had quite a few options including the OEM ones. I selected a 3 peak snow rated tire since we are now going to go into winter months and it does snow in Colorado. When the spring thaw hits; I may get a different rated set to put on for summer.
As for alignment… no way. Alignment issues show extreme wear on the sides depending on which way it’s misaligned. It’s fairly evident. Middle wear is due to over inflation. Both side even wear is due to under inflation or bad suspension. Yours looks to me like either torque launching or heavy off-road use. The “chunking” is generally an off-roading symptom and I have that on my Jeep Gladiator Nitto Trail Grapplers with only 6k miles on them. It’s the stress of rock crawling. If you say you do niether, then you are just victim to crappy OEM tires and possibly just got a bad batch.
You can get a nice set of tires with a warranty now and not have to get something in Spring unless you like wasting money. As I personally advocated before, get a set of BFG KO3s. They have a nice warranty and a tread twice as thick as the OEM. They do great in snow. It’ll take a long time to wear down that tread unless you are constantly launching them. I just put a set on my wife’s F150. They look dynamite.
