    Probably go back with Michelin XLine, currently have Bridgestones because I couldn’t find Michelins last time do to supply chain issues.

    I'm having the same f in issues with the right steer cupping on the outside edge, same as the last set, Marshall, FCC's alignment guy aligned it when I got this set. Gotta be something going on. Only about 95k on these. I'm gonna rotate the steers to try to get the full life out of them. Then have the him take a lot at it again before I put another set on and see if he comes up with anything. No since in trying to fix now, can't change a wear pattern anyway

    That issue is very common on Freightliners, you need to Marshall to move your bump stop. Freightliner designed it the way for tighter turning radius. When I had my Freightliner I had the same issue, we adjusted the bump stop, problem went away.

    He did last time, didn't fix it apparently. Only does it on the right side though

    That’s a head scratcher, correct only on the right side.

    Yup, only the outside edge on the right side. And did the same wear pattern in the same position on the last set too before he aligned it.

    There's an alignment guy in Houston on YouTube bendin with Bendon anyone seen his videos before?
    Google Maps

    Kind of wondering if some of these mysterious alignment issues he can solve but then again who knows.
    The parts guy at CB 2nd shift did alignments before as well he talked to me a bit the day I got back from Texas he might have an idea also.
