Abnormal front tire wear G670

<< < (2/2)

Richard And Babs Ames:
Heard from Mike Ware the Florida Commercial Goodyear representative.  Only suggestion was to rotate tires.

Ken Kruse:
I had the same problem with the original Goodyear’s on my coach.  The uneven scalloping tire wear only happens on free wheeling (front) tires.  Although tire dealers were quick to point to possible alignment or other vehicle problems, a thorough vehicle check by Josams revealed that it was not a vehicle issue.  I was later told that the tire wear issue is a known defect of the Goodyear tire.  They just have a hard time acknowledging there is an issue with their tire.  After all, Ford still maintains that there was nothing wrong with the Pinto gas tank, and General Motors still says there is nothing wrong with the way the Corvair handled.  My next set of tires was Continentals and my third set was Michelins.  There were no uneven wear issues with either of them.

LEAH DRAPER:
It seems these days that it sure hard to find the "right" technical help.  Who can one trust anymore?  It is absolutely maddening at times.
That is one the GREAT things about this forum, you can get comments, and experiences from fellow Beaver owners.

Richard And Babs Ames:
Thank you Joel for your coments. I took the coach to a dealer reccomended by the tire rep for the rears one was out of round and could not be indexed to be round but did not address the fronts at that time. Plan to swap the fornts side to side and rebalance.
