Troubleshooting One Tire Wearing Out on a Tandem Axle Trailer
Question:
I have a tandem 4 inch axle stock trailer I just put 4 new 10ply tires on. Made around 400 mile trip and the right front tire has no tread left but all others are fine. What could my problem be? I just bought the trailer used.

Expert Reply:
Typically when only one tire on a trailer wears out on a tandem axle trailer the problem is axle alignment. That would be the first place I would start.
Other possible issues are damaged rim, damaged or worn suspension components, bent axle, bad wheel bearings, one brake assembly locking up when stopping and/or axle overloading.
