Rolling Toe

Last week Mike and Kevin Beckett had many questions that we successfully confused everyone about. This week we try to give you your answers, specifically about trailers. We also try to guess correctly where the area code of the call is from. Let's get rolling!

Today The Rolling Toe show continues to confound and confuse its listeners on the subject of tire wear and handling for trucks. Mike and Kevin Beckett discuss "other alignment settings" and answer call in questions. Let's get rolling!

On today's episode of Rolling Toe, Mike and Kevin Beckett talk about tire wear and handling issues on trucks. Let's get rolling!

Today, Mike and Kevin Beckett talk about Caster and Camber and other tire wear related issues. They take your calls and questions, and have a few laughs! Let’s get rolling!

It’s the Rolling Toe show, we’re on part 3 of our episodes on inflation! Kevin and Mike Beckett from the AudioRoad Network are here to take you through everything tires. We had a lot of conversation this week on inflation and how to maintain and monitor inflation. Obviously this means getting your tires checked— not by a tire thumper! What is causing tire wear issues? If you don’t check your tires (and we mean ALL of your tires!), we can tell you, you’ll never figure it out.   We talk about the different inflation systems, and their pros and cons. We also take your questions and comments. Let’s get rolling!

It’s the Rolling Toe show! Kevin and Mike Beckett from the AudioRoad Network are here to take your calls. We’re talking about alignments and tire wear, and things that effect alignments and tire wear. So if you have a question, or if you just want to share a comment, call in any Sunday at 9pm EST! Last week we discussed some of the basics of inflation- particularly cold inflation. Today we revisit what that means, and also talk about ambient pressure, the effects of weather and indoors/outdoor temperatures.   Now all of this is good to understand, but really we want to understand more so we can change and extend the life of our tires. Let’s get rolling!

It’s the Rolling Toe show! Kevin and Mike Beckett from the AudioRoad Network are here to take your calls. Today we chat camber, castor and toe. We clarify what these things mean in relation to your wheel alignment, and steer and drive axel. Where is the horsepower coming from? Where does the direction control come from? How can we better align to reduce wear and tear?   We investigate. Join us, ask your questions. Let’s get rolling!

It’s the Rolling Toe show! Kevin and Mike Beckett from the AudioRoad Network are here to take your calls. We start by talking about the specifications of alignments. We’ve all heard it before, but what does “it’s within specs” really mean? Kevin wrote a post about specifications of vehicle alignment. The make, axel, tire and alignment equipment all change what specs are right for you. Because of this, we have “alignment targets”— which are numbers that are all goals to shoot for, but not necessarily obtain. Today Mike and Kevin share the development process, and especially focus on the alignment for the axel. We talk about the 9 minute myth and the appropriate time to align axels. So what’s really going on? Let's find out. Let’s get rolling!

It’s the Rolling Toe show! Kevin and Mike Beckett from the AudioRoad Network are here to take your calls. The show is a bit shorter today, because of technical difficulties, but we get through it and try our best to diagnose your trucking problems. Today we’re focusing on Alignment Procedures. It’s the 3rd post we wrote— if you’re looking at our facebook or LinkedIn. Car alignments are not the same as Truck alignments! Medium and Heavy Duty vehicles need to be 10 times better aligned than cars. We’re helping you save the miles and dollars from your alignment. We share the two most important alignment measurements and mistakes that really make the difference.   Let’s get rolling!

It’s the Rolling Toe show! Kevin and Mike Beckett from the Audioroad Network are here to take your calls. Today, it’s all about finding the characteristics of the tire-wear. We share the top 5 descriptions that can help you find the real problem you’re having with your truck. We breakdown the two categories of Tire Wear and the three categories of Handling Complaints. We also tell you the things to identify so that you can have useful diagnostics on your truck. We talk about how to avoid problems with your alignment, suspension, wear on your tires, and oil spills. We answer your questions and hear some great stories of improvement from people who have taken Mike and Kevin’s advice! Let’s get rolling!

It’s the inaugural Rolling Toe show! Kevin and Mike Beckett from the Audioroad Network are here to take your calls, among the hilarious radio mixups we have. Today, it’s all about the alignment industry. How can you get better tire life? Is the cost of alignments adding to the cost of the tire, without actually adding any value to it? We talk about the kind of mileage you should be getting out of your steer tires, and what’s causing us to not get the mileage we want and need! We answer your questions on the wear and tear of your tires, the right suspension for your truck, and when to know if your axel is too flexible. Mike’s so good, he can even guess the problem you’re experiencing by just knowing the model of the tires and suspension you have.   Let’s get rolling!
