Wandering as you describe it is either tramlining (a function of wide tires and uneven road surfaces) or a por toe setting. One can't be fixed, the other can..

I ran 30 psi for the first 12,000 miles and noticed the rears were waring faster in the center. I lowered the pressure to 27 and at 18,000 miles they are about equal across the tire. I'm looking for 30,000 miles out of the Z51 tires.

I think the HOT pressure is what is really important since that is where we run most of the time. I think 32-34psi for even wear. For me this is 28 cold.
