Tire Wear Patterns Explained

All my drives with mega treads have heal to toe. By torque stress is that from accelerating with too much trq for the tread design?

 

heal toe wear is common with most big lug tires some worse than others, rotating them frequently helps. i run lug tires and do a lot of off-road driving. certainly suited for my application and i still experience heal toe wear. so just cause they wear like that doesn't necessarily mean the wrong tire for the application just that that style tire tends to wear like that.

 

I run in dirt lots half of my day. Snow is always a problem in the winter as I drive in the twin cities. I still manage to get stuck with them though. They were only $2200 for 8 installed so oh well, had them for a year

these tires don't like to stay balanced either, I had to put beads in all the drives to get rid of all the shakes.

 

Many thanks for this... there was a day when you would walk into most any big truck tire shop and there would be a huge poster on the wall with beat & wear pattern diagnosis.. don't see those any longer
