    Tires wearing on inside only, 1 of two things, sprung axle or overloaded.

    Make sure your tire pressure is up to the maximum. One trip on low tire pressure can ruin trailer tires.

    I’d agree, over loaded is easy to do, sprung or “bent” axles easy enough to do on our great pothole roads….

    Check your pressures, then do some measurements. inside to inside should be the same front of the tires and back of the tires. If not, your sprung or bent. If they look ‘bow legged’, your over loaded. They shouldn’t squat outwards.

    Hope you understand this and hope it helps….

    It’s amazing how many bow legged trailers you can follow down the road. There are a lot of over loaded trailers running down the road.

    Maybe it might be worth it to have a garage align the trailer for you. They can tell you if the axel is bent or not during the alignment process.

    looks like a sprung axle. measuring the inside distances between the rear of the tires then the front side of the tires the front side is a little over a half inch wider.

    i hadn’t thought of that measurement, i was concentrating on the distance from tire to rear of trailer. thanks.
