Excessive Tire Wear

Our rig is a 2 axle, 19,400 actual weight TH and I carry a 900+ pound Goldwing. We've travelled 28,000 miles and I've seen no unusual tire wear. We have had one blowout, but I suspect the tire brand and age as it'd been a spare I had to use. The sets I've replace have had pretty even wear. I do use a TPM system and rarely travel over 65 mph.

with all that said, it is possible for the axle to be bent and cause excessive outer or inner wear. If you're still under warranty, I'd contact the manufacturer. Otherwise, you need to find a good trailer place that specializes in this as they can check if the axle is true. I'd not use a dealer unless warranty requires it. I don't think most are expert enough.

Rinehart I see it's a 2015, how many miles on it? How did the tires look before the trip? And the biggest question, what brand of tires do you have on it?

I noticed that the wear on my rear axle's tires is a lot more than the others (triple axle). I'm going to need to rotate them a lot more often-- maybe twice a season.

I'm getting new shoes tomorrow, so I'll set myself a calendar reminder.

Your axle is probably bent.

I've had two blow outs on great tires the PSI is always inflated to Max. I just think it's from sitting and not turning it wears the tires as well. And I wasn't over loaded either!

I had a 1998 Terry 24' pull trailer. I made a trip to Oklahoma from Idaho and almost wore out on the inside edge of all my tires.The steel chords were showing. I was advised that my axle was out of alignment. Had them realigned and it cured the problem

Axle Alignment
Over loaded


To find out which....

Weigh trailer. Check weighed axle vs axle ratings/tire ratings

Check axle alignment----Easy DIY method

There are exactly two reasons for what you describe. Excessive rear axle loading due to towing unlevel, or bent axle. My bet is on bent axle.

Axle out of alignment. Common on all trailers. Throw them together and collect the money. Not a bent axle, only makes sense if both tires are wearing the same axle is out of alignment. My bass boat trailer has has 4 new axles under it and will get another till they get it right.

Thanks so much for the input. I know of a good trailer shop. I will make arrangements to get my TH there as soon as the weather breaks. Again, thanks to all for taking the time to help. Larry Rinehart
