Any thoughts would be appreciated. Happy New Year  |
Good Post Topic....I put new 12 inch 6 ply tires on my single axle boat trailer in 2015 before I went to Rainey Lake and back logging in about 2000 miles. When I got home I was shocked to see the tread was just about worn down bald on both tires with heavy duty side shearing. I called up a tire guy and he told me I had wheel and axle alignment problems and it is very common. He recommended me a wheel alignment shop that did trailers alignments. I went there and I was amazed to see a special machine made just for doing single and dual axle trailer alignments. My trailer's camber /castor and tow in and toe out was WAY OUT OF WACK. HE had the axle clamped in a jig fixture and used a laser machine as he had to rebend the axle and spindle mounts to get it straight. He charged me 125.00 bucks and it took just over an hour. In 2016 I went on 2 fishing trip totally 4000 miles on new tires and they have little wear.
Who would have "thunk" a trailer needed a wheel alignment?
