Why a Tire is Classified as Blemished

Tires are cured in molds at high pressure and temperature. After the tires are removed from the molds the tires are carefully inspected and if any imperfection, no matter how insignificant, is found by the inspector that tire will be classified as a blem. The imperfection can only be cosmetic in that if a flaw in the tire is found to be other than cosmetic the tire must be scrapped. Tires manufactured for highway service are DOT (Department of Transportation) approved.

Caster, Camber and Toe

Poor camber and caster alignment can cause your vehicle to "pull", and can cause tire tread to wear unevenly. Toe in won't cause your vehicle to pull, but it can cause extremely fast tire tread wear. This is why your vehicle can pull and not wear out tires, or it can drive perfectly straight and destroy them in a hurry!  Regular alignment, rotation and running the proper air pressure are essential elements in getting the most tread life out of your tires.
