Tires rubbing on camper 2 inch clearance ?

Bought trailer used. Have now noticed wear of tires against bottom of trailer.

Springs are above the axles.

Was this caused most likely from a flat tire rubbing the bottom or is clearance not enough?

Would stronger springs help??

Any ideas? Is best bet TPMS system to lesson chance of blowout or flat ??

Thanks

Are you saying the tires are rubbing now or that it looks like they have rubbed in the past? All tires, some tires, one tire?? I like my TST TPMS. It shows temp and pressure.

Tires and rims are per factory sticker.

Springs look flat to me. But just a guess
On my part.

I assume replacement springs are needed. If spending money I would go up some in rating.

If the springs look somewhat flat, replacing with heavier will help.

Oversize wheels/tires...maybe, but clearance is the issue. Normally 2"s in not enough, but most times 3"s is sufficient.

Possibly from wrong size tires and rims.
