? Equal spacing of tires important?

Just bought new twin axle TT. When measuring between the tires on each side there is about 3/8 in difference.Some component of the axles,tire mounts or such must be slightly out of parallel. Salesman said no problem. Is that enough to be concerned about?

    Yes it is a problem. While the tires may and will flex some, it still is putting extra stress and wear on the tires, bearings and every component of the suspension.
    Contact the manufacturer and get a spec, my guess is 1/8 inch or less although they may measure the difference in degrees.
