Toe-in Change & Tire Wear
#1

I posted back in 2013 that my coach tended to wander.  New 365s were installed 2 1/2 years ago and I did not like the way my coach handled.  My owner's manual states that toe-in should be 1/16" and I had Newell change it to 3/16" which resulted in the coach hugging the road and much more fun to drive.  Of course I am interested in tire wear due to the increased toe-in.  I checked today and after 30,000 miles, each front tire shows wear in the center of 1/8" and 3/16" to 1/4" at the edges.  The edges show a little more wear because I only carry 110 lbs. of air instead of 120.  Frankly, I am satisfied that the increased toe-in did not result in excessive tire wear, yet the coach drives much better.
