![]() "jamesgangnc" wrote in message ... My last set of tires wore away completely on the insides long before the rest of the tread was gone. I was talking to one of my buddies and he had the same problem. I'm thinking the axle develops a bow in it. So earlier this spring I left the floor jack under the middle of it with it jacked up some. Too early to tell if the new tires are wearing the same or not. Can't measure the distance between them at the top and bottom cause the street and the boat are in the way so I don't know if the camber is ok now or not. Anyone else have this problem and do any investigating? 4 things to check 1 tires- Carlisles are junk. Goodyear Marathons seem to be pretty good 2 camber- Slight negative camber is good (slight upward bend in axle) 3 toe- A little toe in is good. Toe out scrubbs inside of tires and may cause wandering. 4 tracking- axle is perpendicular to direction of travel You can measure or observe all of these conditions. |
