Tire wear. Alignment specs? - 2001 Chrysler Town & Country

Hi,

the tire wear can also be due to a tire not having enough air within itself. So, you might want to use a pressure gauge to check all of the air-pressure values for each tire and pump then to an equal pressure if they are not the same. Then, you might work with a local mechanic to get your golf car tires aligned properly.

Thank you.

Doreen, the radial belt has become faulty, replace tire immediately.

The tire is wearing unevenly due to a tire defect...out of round, or belt seperation...the wear is also caused by alignment problems...get a free alignment check at your favorite Tire Barn...If you replace any tires, be sure to have the alignment checked, or the uneven wear will return quickly. Hope this helps.

Inner tire wear (on one side of the tire) in an indication of too much toe-out. It needs an alignment. Of course, there are several worn suspension components that could cause this type of wear. Any good alignment shop would be able to spot them.

if you don`t rotate the tires this can cause abnormal tire wear.but with tire wear on the outer 1/2 of the tire indicates either the camber setting is off or you could have bad rear springs changing the ride height of the car causing the change in camber.to find out you would have to have a 4 wheel alignment done to check rear alignment readings.if the springs are worn then the ride height can be checked with a tape measure and compared to specs,if off then the springs should be changed along with the rear shocks.

no,

Might be a tire balance issue, or...
If your wheel alignment is out of specs, it can wear your tires and they will "feather" or "cup" and cause the tire to shake on the road.

The actual caster spec is not very significant - the handling is what counts. The caster will not cause a shimmy. Shimmy could be caused by tire problems, worn or damaged steering or suspension parts, bad shock absorbers or a bent wheel. As long as the vehicle does not pull and the handling is satisfactory, the caster is OK, If the tires are not wearing and the vehicle hamdles OK - don't worry about "specs." I have done a LOT of alignments where the readings did not match the specs, but the result was satisfactory.
