Looking at a 2210 from the front one can see that the front wheels camber in at the bottom quite a bit. After 434 hours the tread on my HDAP tires is noticeably uneven and worn on the ouside half. Wondering if it might be worth it to "rotate" the tires so that the tread that was inward would then be outward?

Does the front end need lined up?

wise guy! I'm just wondering if the effort of remounting the tires is likely to extend the tread life significantly, has anyone done this?

Aren't HDAP tires non-directional?? Could you turn the rims around!!

I would need to switch sides which would put the valve stems on the inside and would probably be scraped off by the front drive housing. It is my theory that if I swap the tires I might prolong their life somwhat and I want to do it if I find the time. Just wondered if anyone else was picky enough to go to the trouble?

Yes sure, it will likely share the wearing of the tires,...but correcting the cause of the wear should be done first. I would suggest you check the toe-in first as it is easily adjustable and may help?
Good Luck to you,

I agree. You need to fix the cause of the tire wear. I used to work in an alignment shop and can tell you that you'll get much more wear from the toe-in being off than the camber.

3*wise guy!
1* and 2* I don't think he's going to go for these 3*wise guy suggestions.

Yes Mr. Brown,...twas "you" made the first sensible suggestion. I must admit I was both surprised and taken-aback by his "wise-guy" reply to you. But I chose to write it off as "Alignment-Ignorance",...(that he likely has no knowledge of that topic), (even though he did use a related word, "camber"),...so decided to give him the benefit of the doubt and hence, a place to start his repair journey, and was pleased to see WSP617 agreed,.. which makes 3 of us,...and so you'd think the suggestion of us "3-Wise-Guys",....would be worth "trying" ???

Perhaps he will be good enough to explain?

CHEERS,

Do you use your Tractor alot on concrete or asphalt ??? If so there might not
be anything wrong with your Tractor , the HDAP tires have a very flexible
tread that will wear on solid surfaces ...
