Abnormal front tire wear G670

(1/2) > >>

Richard And Babs Ames:
Good Year G670 275/70 R 22.5 H. Front outiside rib on the curb side starting to wear faster than the rest of t he tire. Anyone with experience or fix?

Gerald Farris:
These tires have a tendency to wear the second rib from the outside because of their construction design, but if you are wearing only the outside rib it is normally caused by a front end alignment problem.

Once a tire starts to wear uneven, it will always look uneven, because with the problem corrected the tire will wear at the same rate over all of the thread and therefore the uneven wear will remain but not get any worse.

Tom Rogers:
How many miles on the tire? Was the front end aligned after tires were put on? Powers to be recommend front end alignment even after buying a brand rig. Consider exchanging a rear tire for the front wearing tire.

George Harwell:
Had them on my 03 Monterey and went through the entire scenerio until I threw them away after 53,000 miles. As Gerald said there was a design flaw with that tire. Love my new Michelins.

Richard And Babs Ames:
Arround 20,000 miles on tires, Laser alignment done by JoSam in Orlando, FL. Had one Bilstein failure that was replaced under Bilstein warranty. Has been modified to 4 from 2 shocks on the four air bag front suspension. I am going to raise the air pressure to 120 from 110 (105 is the tire chart PSI) as it has been weighed by wheel.
