Thanks esox. I'll take a look at that and give it a try.

I had the same type of wear on the tires last year. Found out it was a toe in problem. Took the trailer to a shop (boat loaded on trailer). After a couple measurements it was found that the right tire, as viewed from behind the trailer was tipped in 1" with the left tire being tipped in 3/4". Shop tweaked the axle a little and I have not had a problem since. This rig was purchased new in 2005 and this is now my third set of tires. Figured the first set were cheap tires. Put on the second set and never gave them a thought until just before a trip "up north". Figured I better get it figured out and it looks like I did. No abnormal tire wear and it seems to go down the road a little easier too.

Under inflation and loose lug nuts caused that "scalloped" wear pattern on my rig. I was an ignoramous on stuff like that, but learned my lesson... Since replacing and paying more attention to these two things I haven't had the issue again.
