Alternate Lug Wear

Appearance

What's Happening
The tire's lugs are not wearing consistently because they are not making uniform contact with the highway.

Probable Causes
- mismatched duals
- inconsistent dual inflation (10 PSI or greater)
- tread design/tire design

Corrective Action
Alternate lug wear may routinely develop on certain tread types. The only solution may be to select a different tread design. Inflate tires to fleet standard. Match duals by tire brand, size and series (difference of no more than 1/4" in overall diameter).

What to do with the tire
Continue to run tire. When worn area reaches tread wear indicators, have Kal Tire retread the tire. To obtain maximum mileage from the tread, rotate the tire to a different drive wheel position.
