Trailer tire wear question
This isn't a RV, but I figured maybe someone could give some insight into the wear I am seeing on these tires.
The wear is the oddest I have ever seen and I was a auto technician for about 7 years as well as a marine mechanic, so I've seen every type of tire wear. From under/over inflated, etc. This one, I cannot figure out.
The wear is choppy with the lead portion of the tread sticking up with the trailing end worn flat. It's like a sawtooth. This is seen equally on both tires. It's about 1/3 out from the center of the tire, both inner and outer of each tire.
The only thing I can come up with is the trailer is way under weight for it's rating. The boat is much too small for the trailer, but I wouldn't think this would be an issue. I also question the tires as they are cheepo brand tires that came with the rims. I would think the trailer axle is out of alignment but I didn't see this with my previous tires. I have probably 10,000 miles on these tires, so they are well used, but this wear is just odd.
