LIGHT TRUCK 1985-87 ALL LIGHT TRUCKS

Vehicles may experience front tire wear with all season/all terrain tires described as irregular, heel and toe, or diagonal. The condition may be related to alignment settings, vehicle usage, and tire tread/ carcass/compound design.

In cases of severe wear, obtain the complete alignment readings and tire information.
