Tyre problem please help

Over inflation of tyres?

Static imbalance of the wheel and tyre?

Radial runout (eccentric wheel)?

Only things that come to mind...

Cheers,

Tim.

Chris problem on the ford is rear end alignment and sagged with suspension, easy fix is alignment and fit a set of level riders. your local caravan dealer should be able to help.

Would it not be better to take it to someone qualified to look at. Everyone on hear is only guessing as they can't see the vehicle or check any components. To save the cost of replacing tyres (if not to late already) take it in to get checked. There are so many variables with tyre wear.

Smooth even wear in the centre is over inflation. Any other type of wear can be caused by balance, shocks, bent axles, alignment etc.

In any situation like this it is always worth a phone call to the tyre manufacturer. They usually have a free customer information number on their web site so why not use it. Discuss not only the wear but pressures as well. They should be able to tell you how much weight a certain pressure will support.

One thing I always do when concerned about wear patterns is heat the head of a small nail to red hot and put a row of very shallow burn marks right across the tread. By watching which ones wear first you can usually detect uneven wear long before it shows up by sight or with a tread depth gauge.

I am going to go against the grain here, wear in the middle of the tyres is initial under inflation. Heat generated from sidewall flex from too little air to begin with causes pressure to climb too much when running, and subsequently wears the middle of the tread. Have a read of the sidewall of the tyre and it will tell you max pressure for max weight. Try a few psi lower.
The correct way to work out what you need is to measure cold, and hot, and if hot equals more than 4 psi increase, you need to increase cold inflation pressure. If less than 4 psi increase, then decrease cold starting point.
If you dont have levellers yet, get them. They put weight back on the front wheels for braking and steering.
