I noticed the curb side front tire on our trailer was worn almost completely down only on the outside rib and only about 1/3 the way around the tire.

I've never dealt with Discount Tire but from all I've read, they are a good outfit .... my question would be, why was the tire worn in that manner .... your camper is probably still under warranty but no matter if it is or not, I'd take it to my Jayco dealer and have it examined .... if there is an alignment problem, whatever new tire you put there will most likely experience the same issue

Hi Jim, How's your end of South Dakota doing? The Black Hills were great for us.

One more thing, The spare I put on in Utah had about 2500 miles on it by the time we got home and there was no indication of abnormal wear by that time.

absolutely beautiful in eastern South Dakota, the type of weather that makes us very happy we aren't back home in NC

what they said about tires is true but the thing I would want to know is there an axle or hub issue that created the tire problem .... that most certainly is a warranty issue .... the good news is the 2500 miles with no visible issues .... I'd still want to know the why .... it might pay to get a tire tread gauge and keep a close eye on it .... might also pay to call your Jayco dealer and get them to put your axle/hub concerns on record ....

hope you guys have a great trip

Jim
