Location: north central wisconsin | Yes. In fact my last trailer had that chronic problem. I went through a few sets of tires trying to fix the problem. I have since gotten a new trailer for my boat, as the last one was undersized for my rig. The load was too heavy and somehow caused the wearing of the tires in an abnormal fashion. Low air pressure can also be a culprit, and tires that look fully pressurized are sometimes very low, so periodic checks are important. My axle was bent on the trailer from bumpy roads with too heavy a load. I had my axle straightened and stiffened and that helped for awhile, but it eventually became warped again, and a new axle was needed(that I never purchased). My tires actually wore not only on the outside, but the outside was the worst. Having radial tires on your trailer will often help too, as the non radials will show this type of wear much sooner as well. |
