It has to be a problem with the tire itself. Tires can have carcass problems that you can never see....


It's not the spindle. The alignment would have to be WAY off to create a temperature difference like that. In that case, the tire wear would be obvious, within a few hundred miles.

I doubt bearings too, because if the bearings were transferring heat, the wheel would be very hot too.

If it were a problem on the trailer it might be a problem with the spring shackle. If it is in a bind it will prevent the leaf from flattening over bumps. In which case the only spring on that side is your tire, and that will make it run hot.
