In addition to a bearing problem or alignment problem have you scaled your rig?

Have one of the weigh on site outfits come out and scale your rig, wheel by wheel (please get the tires replaced first) you may find you are very heavy on that corner... I found a few surprises when I had my rig weighed that way.

DON"T you check your TIRES???? it is only your falt RUNNING ON A FIAT for a long time.So when you stop to get gas dont you check things out? After you replace 2 tires on that side becouse you just can't replace 1 due to the hight of the old tire.

I am still trying to figure how one tire rotates 500 times/mile & the one beside it rotated 502 times. I would think the tire was flat or going flat for a very long time, & the force of rotation caused the center to wear. That is a good thing about tubless tires, you can run them flat & they don't overheat, & as long as the bead sticks to the wheel you won't get or feel any wobble. As stated the other tire was overloaded so you should replace both tires.

I have a 2004 Bounder 38N (DP)with Michelin 255/80R 22.5 tires I have about 24K miles on it now. I was checking the tire pressure and noticed the right rear (outer) looked like it was wearing more than the others. A closer look revealed the inside tire was worn completely through the grooves on all but the three center groves. It's also flat (although the rig's on its jacks the tire looks ok because its off the ground). The left rears have at least 3/8" of tread and are wearing evenly.
The manufacturing date on the tires is 2403 so there not quite five years old.
Any ideas as to why the right rears could wear faster than the others? Could wheels, shocks or something else be a problem?
I will probably replace all six by next spring but I'd like to know what could have caused this so I could get it fixed.


The FLAT can be the result of any one of many things!
NO WAY those tires should be worn down to that degree!
1) Grossly overloaded..?
2) Grossly UNDERinflated..??
3) rear end out of alignment in a BAD way!!!

One or all of the above

Did you notice the rig rocking side to side while in motion? That could happen if one dual is low or flat.


Many on this BB post that a "driver cant feel a low or flat tires on a DP"....Hence "pressure Pro"......
