Not sure if this is allowed here. Doesn't have much to do with dodge.. its towed by one if that counts

I have a little modified tilt trailer that carries 600lbs constantly. The axel is rated at 2500lbs I think. Not much readable information it.

It's been a good little trailer but I've noticed the tires are wearing oddly. Not sure if you can see from the photo but that last row of trim on the outside is worn down much more than everywhere else. But the outside of the tire is fine. Its just that one half inch tread row. Both sides are like this

is this an air issue or an alignment issue? I would think to air them down but they are already a little low. Can a trailer be aligned with weight? Would be a real bitch to get that off and on again, used a crane last time.

Any help is appreciated. I know littlr tires aren't pricey bit would like to fix any underlying issues/ mistakes. Sorry if this isn't allowed. Thanks!

 

I don't think its an air pressure issue. Might just be the way that particular brand/model of tires wear. So far as I know, there isn't anything on there that is adjustable as far as alignment goes. It's a solid axle, innit?

 

Solid axle, yes.

It just seems like an odd way for them to wear. Probably garbage tires... 'Carlisle sport trails. They've lasted a year and a half but probably only put a couple thousand miles on them if that.

 

Check the wheel bearings for slop. If a bearing is loose or you've bent the axle (not easy to do but possible) the tires will wear oddly. You probably have a 3500 pound axle but I have seen lighter ones, especially when used on a Class I or Class II hitch. If the axle is straight and the bearing tight, it's probably just how the tire wear.
