What causes edge wear on kiln support rollers and uneven tyre wear, and how is it treated?
Edge wear on rollers and uneven tyre wear usually come from skewed rollers or a displaced kiln axis, so contact and load concentrate on one side. Treat it in two steps: measure the kiln to establish the axis, roller positions and contact, then adjust; then restore the damaged surfaces by on-site turning or grinding, with deposition repair where wear is deep.

Repairing the surface without adjusting the kiln lets the uneven wear return; adjusting without repairing leaves steps and grooves that keep spoiling contact. Measurement, adjustment and surface repair are best planned together.
Before contacting a provider, note which pier is affected, which side is worn, whether there are steps or spalling and whether the kiln drifts axially, with photographs if possible.
