Location: Fairfield, IA | ShoreLand'r trailer, single axle, ST185 80R13 tires. I have less than 3,000 miles on the trailer and am getting really heavy wear on the inside of both tires. The right side is worse than the left.
I checked and nothing is hanging down and rubbing on the tire.
The first year I had the trailer I cut a corner short and hit a curb hard, going up over the curb. There is a slight indentation mark on the wheel but the tire never lost pressure.
I did take the tire/wheel off the axle including the bearings and then reassembled everything.
The only two things I can imagine causing the problem is the castle nut on the axle is not tight enough, allowing the tire to 'wobble' OR the axle is bent up slightly forcing the bottom of the tire out, causing the inside wear.
When towing, in the side view mirrors, it does not look like there is any side to side movement and the tires appear to be running level on the tread and not canted to one side or the other.
Any ideas?
