It was good to see this post here and other people have experienced the weird tire wear. Same thing here with the outside tread looking like it's been shaved off. So your saying the culprit is tire inflation? I was thinking that Lowe used the cheapest tires available on their trailers. I don't know but I know I don't like it and I'm not crazy about needing to buy a new set of tires every year. I'll check the pressure with the new ones a little more and if you have any other ideas let me know.
Thanks,

Ron, if your issue was underinflation, you'd be showing even wear on both sides of the tire, or even wear in the center of the tire in the case of overinflation.
This is definitely an alignment issue, based on the picture. If I remember correctly, negative camber will cause the tire to wear on the inside, positive camber will cause wear on the outside. Essentially, your tires aren't flat on the ground when you are going down the road. (My experience is all automotive, but I suspect trailers are the same)
