Raptor Tire Wear

Pictured below is the left rear tire off my 2005 Raptor 3018.The excessive wear is on the outside edge of the tire. The right rear tire shows outside edge wear as well but not as severe. These are off of the rear axle. I would suspect a bent axle but think I would see inside edge wear, not outside edge. Any thoughts or recommendations?

    Agreed...since outside on both sides I'd suspect the axle was bent upward in the center exposing more outside edge of the tire to the road. You'll have to find a good trailer shop that can align (bend) the axle (if needed) after diagnosing the problem.
