tire wear in the middle

ac92pathfinder... Do the chalk test (front and back), find out for sure what pressure you need in your tires for your pathy. Run it and be happy knowing your tires will last as long as possible!

 

Just remember to rotate regularly

I'll agree the chalk test seems like the most relyable method and it can quicly be done to adapt to varying load conditions.

im gonna go to walmart and get some chalk but i did lower the tire down to 33psi on all 4 and once i did that one of my front tire is wobbly. thanks i'll do the chalk test.

over inflation COULD have been hiding a problem.

improper balance..etc. etc.

could be a bad cord...

[ac92pathfinder]

ya i'll just get it re balanced and go from there thanks

Did anyone mention to do the chalk test?? It's the only reliable way to figure it out...

 

hell if you took a straight edge to the tire it would likely show as high in the middle

Perhaps, but honestly, that doesn't mean crap. The top of the tire tells you nothing other than obvious wear patterns. What matters is how the tire behaves at the contact patch. I just need to say that so people don't try to determine proper tire pressure with a ruler.

x2 under the weight of the vehicle the tire will fatten out more than the top of the tire.
