tire cupping is most times (if not always) caused by a severely out of balance tire that is bouncing down the road, usually at any speed over 50 mph. It is always said that "trailer tires don't need balance",...WRONG !! The only reason for that myth is because you don't know or feel the havoc that is taking place on a severely out of balance tire until you see the results.
Tires were all balanced. I took the tire to the local tire shop and was told that this is similar wear to what they see on trailers for transport trucks and not a tire issue. He did state that it could be from a little more play in the axle as the trailer is nearly 12 years old. Based on the tire being loose from bearing issue it all comes together now.
He did state no reason not to continue to use the tire and it is a very reliable tire shop so will put it back on the trailer and off to Montreal we go.
