Irregular Tire Wear
Posted by Tony from Detroit, MI, US on June 16, 2007
I just replaced all six of the tires on my 2000 36S Bounder which is on the Ford F53 20,500lb chasisis. My old tires were Goodyear G670 245 70R 19.5 F rated and were 7 years old with 25,000 mile on them. My question is what would cause only the passenger tire to wear more on the outside edge? The rest of the tires wore evenly and my motorhome runs straight and true, I ‘ve had a alignment done when the motorhome was new. What is causing this wear pattern and what can I do to prevent this from happening to my new tires ?
Despite having an alignment job done when the motorhome was new, my guess is that something happened during the next 25,000 miles that may have created misalignment (probably a toe or camber problem). With new tires on the motorhome now, I would have the alignment checked and corrected if needed.
