I have a 2015 Jayco Octaine Toy Hauler (two axle). I often haul a 960 Lb motorcycle in the back, usually for a few thousand miles a year. A week ago we traveled from Columbus, Ohio to Islamorada in the Florida Keys. Upon our return we made it as far as Lynchburg VA before I found that a rear tire had blown. Upon close inspection both tires on the rear axle had excessive (visible chord) on the inside of the tire while good tread remained on the rest of the tire. It was as though the axle had bowed out, maybe because of the weight of the heavy bike? Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Should this be expected or do I have a big problem? Thanks for any input. Larry Rinehart
If I was to make a guess I'd say your rear axle is bent and causing the excessive wear. Some places can bend them back into alignment but in my opinion unless you still have a warranty I'd just purchase another axle as they aren't that expensive.
