trailer tires

[davef]

the outside one or two inches of my trailer tires are wearing very badly on one side. its not the same on both sides of each tire so i doubt if its over or under inflation. any ideas what i can do to correct the problem. thanks for any possible ideas

Take your trailer to a wheel alignment shop that can bend axles. you more than likely have a bent axle causing the bad wear.
Good luck,
Russ

I would agree with Russ, I had the same thing going on due to a little meeting with a Racoon
pulling the boat one night south of Mobridge.
It turned out that when we hit the coon it
tweaked the axle very slightly but enough to
cause a problem
Hope this helps

Make sure the trailer is not overloaded?

What type of tires are you using? Per my Goodyear dealer "Bias tires will give you uneven tire wear." Might what to think about switching to a Goodyear Marathon.

Jack your trailer up so the tires are off the ground. Grab the tire and try and move it in and out I'll bet your tires are gonna move with the tire wear you described. Pullyour grease cap pull the cotter pin remove nut check bearings & race. If no damage repack grease tightin nut enough so as theirs no play in tire when you grap on it. Been there with this problem good Luck MOO

Your trailer axle is causing the problem. I've had to have two boat trailer axles realigned because of tire wear just as you are describing. Take it to a shop where they can realign the axle so the tires are flat on the ground and your problems will disappear (unless you hit something like a chuck hole, or a curb with your trailer tire. then the problem might appear again on the tire that was hit). My problems disappeared when I had my trailer axles realigned. Good luck.
