Your video was used as an example on a forum for someone asking about his tyre wear. I fully agree with you in the most (I was in the tyre game for many years). Your example of overinflation is true for narrower tyres, wear in the centre; however, as you are probably aware, on wider tyres, the wear is distorted; both the centre and the outside edges will also wear to a lesser extent due to the distortion of the tyre. The centre being pressed down by taking the majority of the load will cause the footprint to distort to almost a W. Causing less wear at the bottom of the W and more at the upper points of the W.
I'm glad I found this video because I have been replacing both rear tires every three months and the wear is always in the inside of the tires. I have to do something about it.
Thanks Josh;you-guys that put out these videos are priceless to people like me. You nailed the question to my problem on the head,thanks again my friend,Lester
Excellent. Very concise. Just had the tow in reduced (first had to had to replace frozen together inner and outer tie rods on both sides) as my front tires had outer wear over the last 3k miles( got new lower control arms). It also fixed a steering wheel vibration above 65mph. She runs nice and smooth now. Michelin cross climate 2's on a 2006 Toyota Matrix AWD with 182k miles.
Thanks for the video. I have my truck front tires wearing weird. My front left if wearing a little on the inner side. The front right has wearing on the outter side.
Hey great video I have cupping only on the inside of my front tires the driver side is worse than passenger I feel vibration in the steering wheel and bumps are ruff any idea where to start I noticed a couple of the alignment pins are loose
1 more thing to consider when buying a used car with tire wear is that who knows where the tire came from and alot of times they move the bad tire from the front and put it on the rear and more times then not a tire with bad wear comes from the front.
Hello JP I have Toyota Camry 2016 inch been having issue with my car it wear the tires from inside I took it to the alignment guys more then more times I been tired of is there anyway you could fixed
Great video i have a Prius c with 28 k miles on it. The left tire is worn out on the outside so i guess that tire is under inflated. Now wondering if i have to change both tires at the same time
Excellent video! Question: I bought a new Prius, it had 2 miles on it when I bought it and it has 21,000. Factory tires, Yokohama blu earth. It started bouncing up and down around 50 mph so I took it to the dealership. They told me the tires were cupping. Can something else cause cupping besides wore out shocks or struts? I mean, it only has 20,000 miles on it. Please help
I have a 1995 Sonoma and the front tires have outer single side wear. The steering wheel is loose as well and does not engage the wheels until about (guesstimate) 10°-15° from center. Thinking maybe the steering box? Passenger side is danger close to showing nylon cords. Suggestions?
My trailblazer has inner tire wear can the ball joints cause this if so do the upper and lower ball joints have to be repair or is it possible the shop didn’t do the wheel alignment correctly
Hey so if only my rear passenger side tire is evenly worn out what could that be? I have a 2014 Nissan Maxima rebuilt title. Not sure of the accident was in the front ot the back. Now I aligned the car about 1 year ago and the car still turns to the right a bit. What should I do? Great video. Thanks.
I have inner tire wear on only my driver side front tire. Replaced on both sides, Upper CA, Lower CA, Struts,inner and outer Tie Rods, shocks, CV axles, and aligned it Last October. My Tie rod on my driver side also has a broken boot on the tie rod. Is this the cause of my inner tire wear?
Hi. I have a 2018 Chevrolet express 2500 van. Both front tires are wearing on the inside pretty bad. I’ve got less than 16k miles on it. Does this sound like just an alignment issue
Thanks a lot for the video! very informative. Quick question: I have this car where cupping is occurring but it's a brand new car, like 12.000 miles. What would you recommend? Re-check alliagment? Since shocks or struts are still new.
I have a Fuga 450gt (infiniti m45) and I have one spot on my tire where it's getting bald. But the rest of the tire is fine. I'm thinking I'll get an alignment and see if I can buy a single tire and hope everything goes well and sorts itself out
Hi there. Got a set of Bridgestone potenza on the front, made on 1421. Now i've got an excessive outside wear. went for a alignment and they said they are perfectly normal but don't know what's causing it. Even after checking the suspension and all that's in there. TBH i don't know what to do now.. as i drive quite a lot. 1500 2000miles/month. Usually motorway. any advie would be great..
I have outer edge wear on all 4 of my tires on a 2010 Tacoma. The recommended psi for my tire is 30. I always keep all 4 at 30 or above. Sometimes the front driver tire tends to lose a little psi if the temp goes from warm to cold sitting overnight. However, it doesn’t even lose air that often and when it does I always fill it to match the other side right away. Im baffled as to what is causing it. Im worried if I get new tires the same thing will happen to them. There is a very defined line that goes full circle along the outer edge of the tire. I just had an alignment today and they did a good job, but previously I was driving with an alignment that had gone out early. However 🙄 The lines I describe have been there since the day I bought the truck, so can’t say for sure….
I got one for you. 2004 vw golf. Matching set of Michelin. Right front is worn 20 % more than other 3. Obviously previous owner never rotated. I'm at a loss as to what would cause one tire to wear more than other 3.
Question! I have a 2016 Silverado LTZ. The rear passenger side has uneven tire tred( single side wear). I took it to a shop and they told me the rear can't be adjusted on the silverado. Is this true?
Thanks for the info. I have a 99 f350 got new front tires a month ago. They are Pathfinder HSR's. I'm getting some bad heel wear on both of them. I dont see excessive play in my balljoints or rod ends, and I replaced the right front wheel bearing and whole hub assembly a year ago. Any suggestions?
My front tires have what appear to be razor cuts atop thevtread. These can be lifted with my fingers. There is a mumping sound as I drive. What may cause this. 2012 Genesis sedan.
I am tire wear on my inner and outer tire. However the tire pressure is set to default standard pressure. It's on the right front of a Chevrolet Silverado V6
My tires feel like saw tooth edges. All four tires only on the edges. I had it aligned he said the toe was out in the front. What do you think ? I just bought the minivan. A Toyota 2008 Sienna. I didn’t hear the tire noise when I test drove it cause it only makes tire noise in a road bend and starting at about 30 -40 mph and I drove straight down a highway slowed and turned around and came back to the car dealer. I never went into a road bend at speed. Why does all four tires have varying degrees of saw tooth edges ?
I have a 07 Dodge Caliber... 3 weeks ago I hit a dog at speed..... Now my left frount tire is worn so badly on the inner edg the cards are comming through. My car has always eorn tires evenly before. I need new tires but I know I need this corrected first. What is likely the issue???
Hey, My rear left tire has uneven waves on one side when rotating. Does someone know what the reason for that could be? Its just the side facing inwards.
I replaced my worn out ball joints and had the truck in the shop to get aligned properly. I was driving a hundred miles a day commuting, after a month and a half or so my tires were getting loud. I noticed I was getting the toe heal wear, every other set of tread was either high or low, high, low, high, low all the way around. I did have my tires over-inflated just a little to help with gas mileage, I figured that was the issue, I let my air back down from 41psi to the recommended 35. The door tag states 41 in the rear 35 in the front. After another month and a half the wear did not even back out like I had hoped it would. The rear tires are nice and even, the front tires have the exact same wear pattern on both sides. I took them off today to get a better look, it is running my hand around the tire it is bumpy both ways but smoother in one direction and sharp and rough in the other. Could this be nothing more than needing to be rotated? And maybe because I had an extra 6 psi in them? I am really hoping it is not a suspension issue, Bearings seem fine, The ball joints are new, I installed myself and asked the shop that did the alignment to take a look at everything to make sure it all seems good. They said everything looked good and then did the alignment. I have had the tires on the truck for a couple years now and no issues until after I started the commute to work, I had no issues with any abnormal wear before that. So I am really hoping it was the over-inflation that did it. So I am hoping rotating them will help even the wear back out? They still have quite a bit of tread. Front are heal toed the rear are great. I was wondering what the best option is for ratation to try and get these to wear down the high spots and maybe even back out. I was thinking just switching the front, passenger to driver and driver to passenger as the high low pattern seems to be following direction of travel on both tires, and leaving the rear tires in place as they look good and are wearing evenly. I would love any input from you or anyone with more knowledge on the probable cause and how to correct it. I am hoping I do not have to buy new tires. They are aggressive pattern all-weather truck tires with lots of tread still. Thanks in advance. Currently, they are so loud I have to keep the windows rolled up or they give me a headache.
You can try a rotating but once a tire wears theres no getting it back to how it used to be. I would check your shocks/struts. Sounds like they could have something to do with the wear your explaining. You can always get tires replaced/warrantied as well. Go back to where you bout them and explain this to them. It's worth a shot. Good luck!
One of my rear tires doesnt look straight compared to the other side, both rears are worn more than the fronts, but on the rear wheel the tread is even? Is this bad at all?
I had an alignment done, then I pulled the transmission shortly after. I didn't get the alignment done and 6 months later both of the front tires are showing steel. I made a mental note to do it right after but... Yeah. It's important.
I have one ive only seen twice now and have never figured out. My 06 Ram 3500 dually on the passenger side, and my 14 ram 3500 dually drivers side. The outer tire wears out a lot faster than the inner on that side. The worn out tires have worn flat/smooth, no cupping, feathering, hi/low spots. I would say its wearing perfectly (except the inner tire has twice the tread) So yes I have neglected to rotate the rears 20,000 miles since my last rotation. All of my tires are wearing great, just the one has low tread. They are also all at the tire recommend 80psi.. any ideas?
What causes small chunks of tread to just come off? Both of my drivers are suffering from this. One has relatively new suspension and drives straight. It has Perelli tires all around and they are worn fairly evenly except for the gashes in the middle of the tread.
I have a bmw 325i and it rumbles going down the road above 30 mph and gets worse from then on while gaining speed slowly or maintaining a speed above 30... letting of the gas and speeding up quickly dosnt rumble or shake at all.. back right wheel had the center of the tire worn out and the back left wheel had the outer edge worn down.. what could be the issue?
Thanks so much for the video. Quick question... I have a 2010 Honda Odyssey and only the driver side rear inside of the tire is worn and smooth. I do hear a bit of a sound at about 20 miles an hour...whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop coming from the driver side rear tire area. All of the other tires are wearing normal. The tire pressures are all correct. The inside of the tire Trad is really smooth and Warren rate down the rest that red has quite a bit of mileage left on it. Do you have any thoughts? Thanks! Great video... I think I might know what it is based on your video but I just wanted to explain the exact situation because I wasn't sure if it quite lined up with what you explained. Thanks. -Scott
I got a leveled ram 1500. Both front tires have this groove almost in the middle of tire. Never noticed it before. Curious as to if you know what would cause that? It’s only a small groove and it’s not from the tread or rubbing. Not sure if it’s just bad tires or if there is something going on. Tires are brand new this year.
Without seeing it's hard to tell. But when tires wear in the center its usually from over inflation. Make sure your running proper air pressure. Without seeing i cant assure you that's what's going on. If it's just a thin groove and not a spread out pattern I'd take them to where you bout them for warranty.
I have a 2003 chevy Silverado 1500 5.3L LS 4x4 my front tires are both having the same problem there is no tred on the in side but has tred on the outer side. Any ideas what this could be ? They where new tires have yet to pull a trailer with the truck and only put the 4x4 on twice for 5 minutes
the mechanic at my job says the cupping thread wear on our Ford F550 is because the front hubs have been locked in without 4x4 being engaged and driven like that for extended periods of time???
I have a 2008 Ram 2500 with a 6” lift on 37” tires. My front tires are wearing every other lug across the front tires.. what would cause this? Truck has new Bilstein shocks on it since before putting tires on and tire are 6months old with 15k miles on them...
With big tires you always run into alignment and balancing issues. Because they're so large you often can't get them perfect. Wear on every other lug most of the time is a sign of improper inflation or mismatched tires. It means the treads arent making contact with the road at the same time. I'd first make sure your tire pressure is proper on all 4 wheels. If your running different brands/models of tires thats probably your problem. Alignment issues or worn components can sometimes do this. Get the tires balanced and Double check all your steering linkage connections/bolts And check your ball joints. If you do everything and nothing works its it's probably time for a different set of tires! I wish you luck!
All the same brand and size tires, alignment is perfect on the Hunter alignment machine... Truck doesn’t walk around in whichever lane it’s in... My tires have 5 lugs across the tire spaced 1/2” apart and lug 2 and 4 are flat like they should be and lugs 1,3 and 5 are cupping and have less rubber on the front of the lug compared to the back side of the lug... 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
If its brand new likely yes. If it's got some miles on it its probably not technically considered defective. Check with the tire manufacturer and retail location you purchased from for possible prorated coverage.
If its stock suspension you will need to get a camber kit. It's an adjustable ball joint. That model does not have a camber adjustment When it comes stock from the factory.. Hope this helps and please consider subscribing!
JP Auto & Fleet Services the car is lowered on coil overs so it’s not on stock suspension. Someone said maybe my upper control arms need to be replaced. Someone else said that the negative camber is normal and for me to get wider rims to help get rid of the negative camber. Another said to get a wheel alignment. I’m just just and not sure which to lean on.
@@stayhumble2613 a camber kit will fix this along with an alignment. Wider tires is too expensive and not a reliable fix. The camber kit installs easily. Plenty of videos on UA-cam about it👍
My back left wheel rim is a bit bent. The car seems like floating above 100 km/h. Steering remains steady. There is no vibration but the car seems to lose control or slides a bit to right or left side if there happens to be a bump or the car gets to 100 km/h. How to resolve it?
wow, I have never heard someone actually call it heel toe wear. thats exactly what issue I am having, even after replacing my struts on my truck. I guess I may need to replace my ball joints or hubs.
Help! Just installed a 3.5 inch lift on my 2017 f150. Drove about 300 miles home (on the old tires, thank goodness) and the center of the rear tires are EXTREMELY wore. Can anyone help explain? Tires are not over inflated.
Hey Josh, I drive a tri-axle dump truck. I noticed that my front right steering tire has pretty substantial flat spots all the way around. They’re on the inside and outside tread, but more so on the inside. In addition, I’m starting to see steel belt on the flat spots on the inside part of the tire. I’ve replaced the tire, but what is causing that?
Sounds like under inflation. Make sure your tires have the proper amount of air in them. Sticker on the inside of the drivers door should have your reccomended tire pressure.
Hi problably ur overloading the tire if you still have the regular 11r22.5 or 24.5 try switching to a wider tire such as a 325 or 385/ 22.5 or just try switching to a higher ply rating
i have a 2007 chrystler 300 in the past week its gotten worse, when i slow down the front end of my car shakes bad. and now when i drive know matter the speed the front end of my car shakes really bad, can you please help me figure this out.
It sounds like your tires need to be balanced And you may have warped rotors. If the steering wheel shakes when you apply the brakes your rotors are warped.
More than likely you have a toe problem. Either worn components (tie rods) or your alignment is off. You should always check for worn components before replacing tires. If you dont correct these issues you'll eat through tires all day. Get your front end checked or check it yourself ua-cam.com/video/Z5lyC3D4Wy4/v-deo.html. Replace any worn components and get a proper alignment at a good shop. Hope this helps!
Sorry but there's not enough information there for me to give you an idea of what to look for. If it's shaking while you hit the brakes chances are you might have warped rotors. But I'm not sure if that's exactly what's happening. Have the front end and brakes checked out for sure. Hope this helps 👍
I would assume it relates to the suspension components being out of tolerance thus creating uneven wear on your tires. Sounds like you need an alignment at the least. But make sure to check the front end components for wear first.
On my '05 Lexus GX470 (solid rear drive axle) the inside of of both tires are bald. Too much negative camber? How can you adjust camber on the rear axle of the GX470?
To me it sounds like an under inflation problem. Or an under inflation problem paired with improper camber settings. Check tire pressure first. Chance are it may be as easy as that. To answer your question on camber adjustment. Every vehicle s different on adjustment points. And even if I could tell you exactly where to adjust the camber it means nothing if you dont have a proper computerized alignment machine to measure it. Check tire pressure and take it for an alignment check. If it's out of spec have the alignment done. Hope this helps and thanks for the comment!
This is how all videos should be..too the point. Not a movie production. Thank you for keeping it short and simple and still informational.

Yes. You definitely have suspension component wear or your alignments off. Take it in for a suspension check
Thanks Josh;you-guys that put out these videos are priceless to people like me. You nailed the question to my problem on the head,thanks again my friend,Lester
Excellent. Very concise. Just had the tow in reduced (first had to had to replace frozen together inner and outer tie rods on both sides) as my front tires had outer wear over the last 3k miles( got new lower control arms). It also fixed a steering wheel vibration above 65mph.
She runs nice and smooth now. Michelin cross climate 2's on a 2006 Toyota Matrix AWD with 182k miles.
Thanks for the video. What if the inside of the rear tyre is wearing out. is it also because of the alignment problem.
Thanks for the video. I have my truck front tires wearing weird. My front left if wearing a little on the inner side. The front right has wearing on the outter side.
Was informative, my c5 has the rear passenger side outside half looks good, inside half looks like slicks.
Hey great video I have cupping only on the inside of my front tires the driver side is worse than passenger I feel vibration in the steering wheel and bumps are ruff any idea where to start I noticed a couple of the alignment pins are loose

On feathering or heel toe wear portion, what direction has tire been rolling ?
I have a 1995 Sonoma and the front tires have outer single side wear. The steering wheel is loose as well and does not engage the wheels until about (guesstimate) 10°-15° from center. Thinking maybe the steering box? Passenger side is danger close to showing nylon cords.
Suggestions?
My trailblazer has inner tire wear can the ball joints cause this if so do the upper and lower ball joints have to be repair or is it possible the shop didn’t do the wheel alignment correctly
Right on great info, but how about the idler arm would that show wear
Hey so if only my rear passenger side tire is evenly worn out what could that be? I have a 2014 Nissan Maxima rebuilt title. Not sure of the accident was in the front ot the back. Now I aligned the car about 1 year ago and the car still turns to the right a bit. What should I do? Great video. Thanks.
I have inner tire wear on only my driver side front tire. Replaced on both sides, Upper CA, Lower CA, Struts,inner and outer Tie Rods, shocks, CV axles, and aligned it Last October. My Tie rod on my driver side also has a broken boot on the tie rod. Is this the cause of my inner tire wear?
I got 2008 Honda crv it doesn't take rear alignment they put the upper control arm and still the same. The rear tires are wearing out on the outside?
Hi. I have a 2018 Chevrolet express 2500 van. Both front tires are wearing on the inside pretty bad. I’ve got less than 16k miles on it. Does this sound like just an alignment issue
Straight to the point sweet video bro.
I try to make them that way so you get in, get your info, and get out. Thanks for the view! You should consider subscribing.
Concise, easy to understand, explains what and why. Thanks.
Glad it helped!
Will worn tires mess up the alinement
Hey Josh, what does it mean if there is wearing on the inner side of all 4 tires?
Hi,Will toe cause feathering on outside of one tire on the inside of the other?
cupping is on the inside or outside of tire?
Thanks a lot for the video! very informative. Quick question: I have this car where cupping is occurring but it's a brand new car, like 12.000 miles. What would you recommend? Re-check alliagment? Since shocks or struts are still new.
If it is a brand new car, take it back to the dealership and let them sort it out for you.
Hey does rotating tires help cupping or cover the problem?
How about both front tires inner wear, both very quickly wear
Great video and very helpful. Thanks!
Hi, I have 2012 Jeep Wrangler & my front right tire is wearing at angle from inside to outside of tire. It’s a gradual angle. What can cause this
Thanks this was helpful my rear tires have are wavey I think its what you called swipe or heel toe front is good back both tires
Glad you enjoyed it !

Question!
I have a 2016 Silverado LTZ.
The rear passenger side has uneven tire tred( single side wear). I took it to a shop and they told me the rear can't be adjusted on the silverado.
Is this true?

On the feathering issue, are you saying it’s being put under stress when towing ?
My front tires have what appear to be razor cuts atop thevtread. These can be lifted with my fingers. There is a mumping sound as I drive. What may cause this. 2012 Genesis sedan.
Hey thanks brotha , it's always good to get great information before taking your car to the mechanic shops!
Thanks for the view!
I am tire wear on my inner and outer tire. However the tire pressure is set to default standard pressure. It's on the right front of a Chevrolet Silverado V6

It's worth a shot. Good luck!
@@JPAutoFleet Thanks
SUPERRRR good job guero 👍👍👍👍✅✅✅
Gracias muchasssss
One of my rear tires doesnt look straight compared to the other side, both rears are worn more than the fronts, but on the rear wheel the tread is even? Is this bad at all?
I had an alignment done, then I pulled the transmission shortly after. I didn't get the alignment done and 6 months later both of the front tires are showing steel.
I made a mental note to do it right after but...
Yeah. It's important.
With cupping is it always due to shocks and struts??? My car is a 2016 and it doesn’t bounce excessively. But my rear tires have inside cupping.
9 times out of 10. Yes Jennifer
@@JPAutoFleet thanks for the reply! I am taking it to get Checked out tomorrow evening.
I have one ive only seen twice now and have never figured out. My 06 Ram 3500 dually on the passenger side, and my 14 ram 3500 dually drivers side. The outer tire wears out a lot faster than the inner on that side. The worn out tires have worn flat/smooth, no cupping, feathering, hi/low spots. I would say its wearing perfectly (except the inner tire has twice the tread) So yes I have neglected to rotate the rears 20,000 miles since my last rotation. All of my tires are wearing great, just the one has low tread. They are also all at the tire recommend 80psi.. any ideas?
What causes small chunks of tread to just come off? Both of my drivers are suffering from this. One has relatively new suspension and drives straight. It has Perelli tires all around and they are worn fairly evenly except for the gashes in the middle of the tread.
I have a bmw 325i and it rumbles going down the road above 30 mph and gets worse from then on while gaining speed slowly or maintaining a speed above 30... letting of the gas and speeding up quickly dosnt rumble or shake at all.. back right wheel had the center of the tire worn out and the back left wheel had the outer edge worn down.. what could be the issue?
Helpful video presentation, thank you for posting it!
No problem 👌
Thanks so much for the video. Quick question... I have a 2010 Honda Odyssey and only the driver side rear inside of the tire is worn and smooth. I do hear a bit of a sound at about 20 miles an hour...whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop coming from the driver side rear tire area. All of the other tires are wearing normal. The tire pressures are all correct. The inside of the tire Trad is really smooth and Warren rate down the rest that red has quite a bit of mileage left on it. Do you have any thoughts? Thanks! Great video... I think I might know what it is based on your video but I just wanted to explain the exact situation because I wasn't sure if it quite lined up with what you explained. Thanks. -Scott
Ok so I have a wavy effect on the inside of my tire but only on not even have my tire
I got a leveled ram 1500. Both front tires have this groove almost in the middle of tire. Never noticed it before. Curious as to if you know what would cause that? It’s only a small groove and it’s not from the tread or rubbing. Not sure if it’s just bad tires or if there is something going on. Tires are brand new this year.
Without seeing it's hard to tell. But when tires wear in the center its usually from over inflation. Make sure your running proper air pressure. Without seeing i cant assure you that's what's going on. If it's just a thin groove and not a spread out pattern I'd take them to where you bout them for warranty.
I have a 2003 chevy Silverado 1500 5.3L LS 4x4 my front tires are both having the same problem there is no tred on the in side but has tred on the outer side. Any ideas what this could be ? They where new tires have yet to pull a trailer with the truck and only put the 4x4 on twice for 5 minutes
Alignment or struts or bad tie rods. Check your front end components first
Inside tire wear and cupping. Subaru dealer said all steering and suspension was good. 2013 sti. Any idea?
Possibly struts and you got a young inexperienced tech. But I can only speculate
Excellent video!
1:49 single side wear - camber / alignment / worn ball joints
the mechanic at my job says the cupping thread wear on our Ford F550 is because the front hubs have been locked in without 4x4 being engaged and driven like that for extended periods of time???
I've watched several videos and so far shocks and struts brother
Both my front tyres are worn on the inside, could it be from roundabouts?
Your alignment toe angle is out. Could be from worn components or you may just need an alignment. Check the front end for wear and get it aligned.
For single side wear: Can this also be an issue with a bad wheel hub assembly?
Potentially yes
I have a 2008 Ram 2500 with a 6” lift on 37” tires. My front tires are wearing every other lug across the front tires.. what would cause this? Truck has new Bilstein shocks on it since before putting tires on and tire are 6months old with 15k miles on them...
With big tires you always run into alignment and balancing issues. Because they're so large you often can't get them perfect. Wear on every other lug most of the time is a sign of improper inflation or mismatched tires. It means the treads arent making contact with the road at the same time. I'd first make sure your tire pressure is proper on all 4 wheels. If your running different brands/models of tires thats probably your problem. Alignment issues or worn components can sometimes do this. Get the tires balanced and Double check all your steering linkage connections/bolts And check your ball joints. If you do everything and nothing works its it's probably time for a different set of tires! I wish you luck!
All the same brand and size tires, alignment is perfect on the Hunter alignment machine... Truck doesn’t walk around in whichever lane it’s in... My tires have 5 lugs across the tire spaced 1/2” apart and lug 2 and 4 are flat like they should be and lugs 1,3 and 5 are cupping and have less rubber on the front of the lug compared to the back side of the lug... 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
My tires are wearing on the inside and outside what is the problem
Heal toe wear, seperation of tire inside belt, is that from a defective tire?
If its brand new likely yes. If it's got some miles on it its probably not technically considered defective. Check with the tire manufacturer and retail location you purchased from for possible prorated coverage.
How to fix cupping wear?
Excellent video
Looks like I have heal toe wear. I guess I just need to rotate more often. Great video. Thanks.
Glad it helped! Tires tell everything!
There has to be another problem..i have had vehicles that never had the tires rotated and all 4 wore evenly with no issues
I have front end negative camber in my 2002 Honda Accord. What can be the cause of it and how can I fix it?
If its stock suspension you will need to get a camber kit. It's an adjustable ball joint. That model does not have a camber adjustment When it comes stock from the factory.. Hope this helps and please consider subscribing!
JP Auto & Fleet Services the car is lowered on coil overs so it’s not on stock suspension. Someone said maybe my upper control arms need to be replaced. Someone else said that the negative camber is normal and for me to get wider rims to help get rid of the negative camber. Another said to get a wheel alignment. I’m just just and not sure which to lean on.
@@stayhumble2613 a camber kit will fix this along with an alignment. Wider tires is too expensive and not a reliable fix. The camber kit installs easily. Plenty of videos on UA-cam about it👍
My back left wheel rim is a bit bent. The car seems like floating above 100 km/h. Steering remains steady. There is no vibration but the car seems to lose control or slides a bit to right or left side if there happens to be a bump or the car gets to 100 km/h. How to resolve it?
Very hard to tell without driving it myself. I would check your alignment and replace that rim for starters.
What would cause inside wear on a 2006 f350 pickup rear passenger tire
A number of things. But off the top of my head, bad tow settings or worn ball joints
wow, I have never heard someone actually call it heel toe wear. thats exactly what issue I am having, even after replacing my struts on my truck. I guess I may need to replace my ball joints or hubs.
Very possible
Help! Just installed a 3.5 inch lift on my 2017 f150. Drove about 300 miles home (on the old tires, thank goodness) and the center of the rear tires are EXTREMELY wore. Can anyone help explain? Tires are not over inflated.
To much air in your tire
What causes a complete bald tire on both front tires in three weeks
I like how every time dude was shown on camera, he had a different wardrobe on.
Well done vid some good info here.
Thanks!
Hey Josh, I drive a tri-axle dump truck. I noticed that my front right steering tire has pretty substantial flat spots all the way around. They’re on the inside and outside tread, but more so on the inside. In addition, I’m starting to see steel belt on the flat spots on the inside part of the tire. I’ve replaced the tire, but what is causing that?
Sounds like under inflation. Make sure your tires have the proper amount of air in them. Sticker on the inside of the drivers door should have your reccomended tire pressure.
Hi problably ur overloading the tire if you still have the regular 11r22.5 or 24.5 try switching to a wider tire such as a 325 or 385/ 22.5 or just try switching to a higher ply rating
i have a 2007 chrystler 300 in the past week its gotten worse, when i slow down the front end of my car shakes bad. and now when i drive know matter the speed the front end of my car shakes really bad, can you please help me figure this out.
It sounds like your tires need to be balanced And you may have warped rotors. If the steering wheel shakes when you apply the brakes your rotors are warped.
What if somebody swapped tires before you bought it. And there cupped
What if tire is wearing on inside bad and front end of vehicle while changing lanes sway side to side
Your toe setting is probably out. You also may have worn suspension components. Get you front end checked and get an alignment.
Good informative video.Thanks
Your welcome my friend. You should consider subscribing.
So if my tire don’t sit up straight a little slanted when standing up on flat surface ?
I'm wanting to know what cause outer tire ware from left front. Its the 2nd tire to be replaced. What can I do?
We just put new tires on the back, because of this. The inner Tie Rods need replaced because the boot is not intact.
More than likely you have a toe problem. Either worn components (tie rods) or your alignment is off. You should always check for worn components before replacing tires. If you dont correct these issues you'll eat through tires all day. Get your front end checked or check it yourself
ua-cam.com/video/Z5lyC3D4Wy4/v-deo.html. Replace any worn components and get a proper alignment at a good shop. Hope this helps!
Great video bro!!!!
Thanks brother!
So when ever coming to a bump as little as a man hole cover and I have to stop before I go over it cause my car shakes badly
What could that be
Sorry but there's not enough information there for me to give you an idea of what to look for. If it's shaking while you hit the brakes chances are you might have warped rotors. But I'm not sure if that's exactly what's happening. Have the front end and brakes checked out for sure. Hope this helps 👍
My 2003 impala passenger side has a foot flat spot going around tire rest tread looks good wants wrong drive all time
Damn it man you nail it, that great
What is it when you have a tire that is only cupped in one 4×6 area on the inside of the thread.
*Tread not thread
It may be from a sudden stop where your brakes locked up and you skid.
What's does mechanical wear on tires mean?
My notes says alignment or mechanical wear
I would assume it relates to the suspension components being out of tolerance thus creating uneven wear on your tires. Sounds like you need an alignment at the least. But make sure to check the front end components for wear first.
@@JPAutoFleet ok thank you
On my '05 Lexus GX470 (solid rear drive axle) the inside of of both tires are bald. Too much negative camber? How can you adjust camber on the rear axle of the GX470?
To me it sounds like an under inflation problem. Or an under inflation problem paired with improper camber settings. Check tire pressure first. Chance are it may be as easy as that. To answer your question on camber adjustment. Every vehicle s different on adjustment points. And even if I could tell you exactly where to adjust the camber it means nothing if you dont have a proper computerized alignment machine to measure it. Check tire pressure and take it for an alignment check. If it's out of spec have the alignment done. Hope this helps and thanks for the comment!
