Typically, when the outside edges of a tire are showing wear its because the tires are under-inflated. The solution is to inflate the tires to the maximum pressure listed on the sidewall.
Now if the outside of tires have what looks like gouges are taken out of the rubber most likely it is broken suspension components or its a bent axle or spindle.
Unlike passenger vehicle tires, you always want to have trailer tires inflated to the maximum tire pressure for the best performance and wear.

The Loadstar trailer tires are made in both China and Taiwan.
You will want to check the inside of the tire and if there is wear also on the inside it will be from low tire pressure. Always make sure to inflate trailer tires to the maximum psi rating listed on the tire for maximum load carrying capacity and longer life.
If the wear is just on the outside then the tire is riding at a slight angle with the bottom pointed more in toward the trailer than the top.
You will need to check... view full answer...
On the Steel Trailer Wheel # AM20006, I assume the 3 dimples you are referring to are the 3 places the wheel steps down in size. The outside largest diameter point is where the wheel is outside of the tire for a little protection of the sealing bead. The second step is where the tire bead rests and seals against the wheel to allow the air to stay pressurized without having an inner tube. The third step is down to the mounting flange to give strength and stability.
Each tire will have... view full answer...
The tire and wheel combinations like # TA24VR are balanced as far as trailer tire balancing goes, which is different from vehicle tire balancing. With trailer wheels and tires, there is a high spot and a low spot that are labled and placed opposite to balance the tire and wheel. There is not turning for trailer tires, so they have a stiff side wall and are balanced differently due to the way they are made. The combinations come ready for you to inflate to max tire pressure and install...nothing... view full answer...
The valve stems # AM20906 are made of a durable chrome-plated brass with a maximum tire pressure rating of over 100 psi.
However, these stems are not manufactured in stainless steel. Unfortunately, we do not carry a valve stem that is made from stainless steel. view full answer...
The trailer tire and wheel combination like the Castle Rock ST205/75R14 Radial Tire w/ 14" Condor Aluminum Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - LR C - Gunmetal # LH84VR, is received from the supplier already with the tire mounted on the wheel. The supplier does not balance the combination, but when the tire is installed to the wheel, they will line the high (heavy) spot on the tire with the low (light) spot on the wheel. This does not completely balance the tire and wheel combination, but it does eliminate... view full answer...
The Karrier ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire, # AM10501, has a 12 ply rating and is rated for 3,960 pounds at 95 psi. This tire has a section width of 9.25 inches and the height of the sidewall from rim to tread is 7.86 inches.
A trailer tire can fail for several reasons including overloading, heat build-up due to under-inflation, and exposure to the elements causing dry rot. Although I can not determine the reason behind why the other trailer tires failed, going with a tire that has a... view full answer...
