The tires 2003 Allure tag are cupped on the right side of each tire. These are original tires/Yoko, with 47.5k miles.
Is there an adjustment to adjust the tracking on the tag axle tires? I just had the coach inspected and this was brought to light, that there was an adjustment, shims. Thanks, John

My understanding is that once tires start to cup there is little you can do about it.
My front Toyos cupped and the only cure was new tires.

My front Toyos started to cup after about 50,000 miles.
I had them rotated to the back, had a 4 wheel alignment, and the cupping on the (now) rear tires has smoothed over a bit. The ones now on the front are doing fine. YMMV

John,

At a tire age of 9-10 years, your tires are way overdue for replacement, using the 5-7 year rule, regardless of tread life left. They can be an accident waiting to happen.
Rotate 8 new tires from the dealer into your coach, then get your alignment and other adjustments.
