    They got plenty of money. I'll take the new Michelins.

    After all my reading here I'd definitely feel better with MIchelins on there. Good thing you don't have to buy em. I bought one a month or so ago, over $600 just for the tire and I shopped around.

    Sounds like the old alignment (too much angle to the right) put a "set pattern" on that right tire,plus making "more right turns than left turns)JMO

    I'd love to see the alignment data...

    Sounds like improper toe or slight positive camber on R side.

    The new tires will start doing this once they wear a little most likely..

    Hello, Driver,

    I got 2018 Volvo 780 and it has the same fricking problem!!!!! My passenger side steer tire’s right edge started eating. Went to shop, they changed kingpin, did the alignment, and changed both tires. It still steers to the right with two new tires. I dont know what to do at this point. It just passed 100k so out of factory warranty. Is there any suggestions?

    Did they put Michelins on? I think Bridgestone has some problems. Our alignment was the 6 wheel thrust type, and it didnt help one bit. When they changed brands it was perfect. As the other guy pointed out, it may not last, but it was good until I got out.
