What percentage of American children live in poverty? According to the National Center for Children in Poverty, 16 percent of children (20 percent of children under age six) in America live in poverty. The child poverty rate in America is often two to three times higher than that of other major industrial nations. Poverty is defined as living in families with incomes below the federal poverty line ($21,200 for a family of four in 2008).
Tire cupping is usually caused by worse tear, wear, and pressure on the surface of the tire. Tire cupping is sometimes referred to as tire scalloping. It is an uneven wear pattern that looks like little dips around the tread area. When there is cupping, you might notice a slight rumbling sound as the vehicle moves.
I have had the tires regularly rotated and balanced and have had the alignment checked again as well. However, the sound has grown worse and varies with the speed of the car. The dealer has checked my tires again and now says that they are all cupped which is the result of my car being a smaller, lighter weight car and also not being in alignment! What does cause tires to cup? And, what can be done to stop the cupping and correct the cause?
