Get your alinement checked

Learned the hard way. After 15,000 miles my front Michelins are trashed. Due to improper alignment the inside tread cupped causing vibration at the steering wheel and unpleasant handling.

The E 450 cutaway is aligned perfectly at the factory, but a new alignment is needed once the chassis is built out. I found out that if you request this within the first few months of ownership it will be covered by warranty.

I ordered two new Michelins from Tire Rack, and took the motorhome down to the Ford Commercial Truck Service Center. They will mount the new tires and do the alignment ($255.00)

So word to the wise, after purchasing your new motorhome, get the alignment checked.
