Berkshire Tire Wear

I have 30,000 miles on my Berkshire and 8 year old tires. Passenger front is showing sever cupping. When I got the coach inspected last year the tech said I had a broken belt in that tire. Coach drives fine, no pulling. My plan is to get new tires in the spring due to age and have the alignment checked.

My question

Has anyone aligned there Berkshire and what did you find?

I look at the front passenger tire and see no difference in it over the others. How would the tech know the tire had a broken belt? Just from the wear pattern?

Has anyone else seen any unusual front tire wear on their Berkshire?

I have not seen any unusual wear on my 2014 Berkshire with about 8k in mileage so far. I did have a similar issue on my previous class A. We rotated the front tires to the inside duals to even the wear out and never had any issues.

Get FL to do an alignment after new tires. My 2014 came very out of whack and now drives great

I had 20k on mine and had it aligned at F-liner factory in Gaffney when passing thru. They said the toe was out just a slight bit.
