Rolling Toe

We have had some time off, and now we're back! Talking about tires, wear and handling. We start off with a convo we had last week, about tires that are failing on one axel of the trailer. Call in and ask us your questions!

Kevin Beckett is here with MD Alignment community member, John Jorgenson. Mike's taking a sick day, so we're here to answer questions on alignment and tire wear on heavy trucks.

Alignment and tire wear and area codes.  What are they?  Let's find out.  Ask questions or we will sing or talk about football.

Big trucks, big tires, big problems.  Anywhere in the country or the Carribean call with tire wear and handling issues and Mike and Kevin Beckett will sort them out. They also talk a bit about football.

We will take your calls from whatever part of the country and discuss alignment on OTR trucks and others.

Mike and Kevin Beckett answer alignment and tire questions and investigate area codes. Let's get rolling.

Mike and Kevin are here, and they're taking your calls and questions. We talk about a bunch of truck related things today. We cover tire wear, handling, suspension, alignment, industry, component and of course try to guess your area codes. Let's get rolling

Today, Mike and Kevin Beckett discuss our new thrilling intro (haha) and of course all of the alignment and tire wear issues in the trucking industry. We don't set a topic for the day, but we do take your calls and questions. Let's get rolling.

We will discuss our issues with alignment and the trucking industry and take your calls to try to resolve your issues! If you have an interesting area code please call!

Mike and Kevin Beckett address some of the tire wear and handling issues that we experience and take some questions.

We talk about whether or not we are experts (uhhh?) and we talk about a few trainings that we've been to recently. Otherwise we take your calls and questions.

Mike and Kevin discuss what's an alignment worth and catching up on old news.

No Center to the steering Wheel?  Driving on Ice? Follows every crack in the road?

Where is the vibration?  In the seat or the feet?  Why does it matter?

Today Mike and Kevin are talking about handling issues. Specifically, they're talking about light pulls in one direction or the other. A tendency to want to pull to the right or left is generally caused by: 1. the slope/crown of the road (we in North America are constantly on the right and compensating to the left) 2. a tire issue (tire wear patterns) 3. frame distortion (diamond, side-swayed, twisted, or suspension components) 4. steering gear box fault (not very common)   They explain all this jumble and teach us how to fix it and get the most of our trucks! Let's get rolling!

Many things that cause tire wear also cause handling issues. And so if you correct one, you can correct the other! It's beneficial to look at handling problems, and though there may be some overlap with tire-wear issues, it's good to look from both angles. The three most common handling problems show up in: 1. a pull towards one side or the other 2. vibrations 3. road wander (swirly/loose steering wheel)   We'll talk about all of these, and take your questions and comments! Let's get rolling!    

We're continuing the theme from last week of talking about tall and short tires. We try to explain and get some questions and answers. Why don't irregular patterns in tires straighten out after the mechanical problems that started it are corrected? How can you get the most from your tires? Let's get rolling.

It's episode 20 of the Rolling Toe Show! Can you believe it? Today we're doing part one of two, where we'll be talking about Tall Tire/Short Tire. It's all about tire wear, we are trying to explain it, and of course give you some more details and explanations. Which tire wears out first and how can you get the most from your tires? Let's get rolling!

We're talking about wide-base or super-single tires today. We also talk about how these tires can improve fuel economy, reduce weight and more. We're also talking about anything you guys want, cause you call in! Let's get rolling.

Kevin and Mike are your hosts tonight and they're taking your questions and comments! They're also talking about u-bolts, which is continuing our segment on Loose Components. It's all about rear suspension. We help you guys understand and get the most out of your truck! Let's get rolling.
