Tires: tread wear, inflation pressure, leveling kit


Question
I have ford f150 2006.  I leveled front with leveling kit and also had alignment redone.  tires in front look word right down the middle while outside does not not seem worn.  what could be happening?

Answer
Mike,

I am hoping you aren't thinking that changing the front end erases the past tire wear.  It doesn't.  It merely adds a new wear pattern on top of the old one.  So unless you started with new tires, you can't be sure if the changes you made to the truck are adversely affecting the wear - or not.

But assuming you had new tires installed AFTER the vehicle was changed:

Then front tire wear in the center usually means too much inflation pressure and insufficient rotation.
