Trailer tire wear

[blacksquirrel2]

One of the tires on my trailer wears out way faster than the other.

Air pressure is checked frequently so I don't feel that's the problem.Seems it must be the spindle in the trailer axle is not lined up correctly. Any suggestions on repair or verifying the problem ?

Thanks

Measure your axle from the end of your trailer on both sides should be the same distance. But when mine was off both tires wore out fast , maybe ballance or a bad rim on that one ???

How is the tire wearing?

The whole thing, both outer edges or the center or one side. (inside or out side)

It wears the inside of the tire. I have put two on that side and the other tire looks fine. It is only on one side. That is why I think it may be a spindle to axle line up problem. I didn't think about the rim. i could rotate the tires and see what happens.It may help isolate the problem.

if its a single axle ya probly bent the spindle also next time or sooner!!! you pull the wheel make shure both bearings are good and check the spindle weld points if ya wacked it that bad you might have some real SAFTY concerns that will be a LOT more expensive and it ant gonna break in the driveway and at 40 to 60 bucks a pop for tires a 2 or 3 hundred proper repair will pay for itsself in no time not to mention the peace of mind... and if the trailer is getting old spend the 2000.00 now before you dump 3 or 4 hundred in repairs ( i know money is tight for us all but were talking fishing here whats more important food or fishing)
