jjeffri Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Tire underinflated? Tire crappy? I see no reason why there should be anymore load on the front tire causing cupping unless you added some weight up there, like a bumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94extreme Posted May 18, 2005 Author Share Posted May 18, 2005 no bumper and such... tire might have been under.. i dunno.. i took it to the tire shop to have the wheel re-balanced because it was vibrating and looked like i might have lost a weight.. they told me that the RF tire wasn't wearing right.. got me a bit worried since i am hitting the long road tomorrow but we'll see.. crappy? i don't think so.. 31BFGmuds that have been great thus far thanks..

Earth1 Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Bad front shocks caused my last tires to cup beyond salvaging. The problem started getting noticeably worse fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Shocks and/or struts are the prime culprit for that, but bushings could influence it also... GL Bud... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
