Outside of Tires are Wearing too Quickly
Question:
2012 Flagstaff Pop Up 176SDLDT model, wears tires on the outside half far too quickly has leaf springs. Seems like the built in axle arch is too extreme. I understand the concept but is there another solution/option versus throwing new tires on it frequently? Straight axle instead? Thanks, Tim.

Expert Reply:
It sounds like you are not putting enough weight on the axle. Since the arch that axles have are meant to help accommodate the weight, you most likely are not putting enough weight on it.
If that doesn't work then I recommend going with a different axle as replacing tires very often can be a bit of an expense. I am linking our selection of axles for you to look through, but I do recommend going with a Timbren axle-less suspension system, like part # A35RS545. These do tend to have a little bit more of an up-front cost, but they are some of the best options out there and they are much easier to install over regular axles.
