Mine are 5 y/o this year as well and I have no intention of replacing them just because of age. I will have to replace them next year because they'll be worn out - at <15K. They'll be replaced with something else that starts out with more tread.
Makes no sense! 15k??? I have a set on my Boat Trailer and they have at least 20-25k and dated 2017. I will run them this Summer and see how the tread looks.
You must have brakes set too tight or some other issue.
Something to consider you have 5 years with no issues on trailer tires that says a lot.
Brakes are self adjusting but I check them each spring anyway - they work perfectly. I do all my own mechanicals and know what I'm doing. I use my exhaust brake so they get a break that way. Tread wear is even but the rears wear slightly faster. Probably a factor of tight turns but nothing different than any of the other trailers I've owned.
I'd like to get alignment checked but there just isn't anyone in the area.
Biggest problem I see is that they don't start with as much rubber as other brands. Most have 50% to 100% more tread.
