What Causes One Trailer Tire To Wear Faster Than the Others On a Tandem Axle Trailer  

If you have the weight in the trailer more towards the back then that could cause the rear axle tires to wear quicker. You will also want to check the suspension components to see if anything needs to be replaced. Worn suspension can lead to…

If the rear axle trailer tires are supporting more of the weight of the trailer then they would wear out faster. There are couple of adjustments that could be made to try to even out the load on the trailer. The first would be to more evenly…

It looks like the center of the tire has worn faster than the outer edges which is a tell tale sign that it has been overinflated or it is a different load range than the rest. If the leaf spring was worn more so for that particular side of the axle…

The first place I would look is at the suspension components of your trailer. Worn out suspension can cause tires to wear strange. You could jack up your trailer (use jackstands) and get underneath your trailer and see if you can find any movement in…

Typically a trailer axle will have some camber in it - some bend - such that when it is not loaded the tops of the wheels bow outward slightly, with the outside edges of the tire treads making first contact with the ground. This allows that when the…

I consulted with our resident tire expert, and we're both at a loss. Heat build-up caused by over or under inflation, overloading the tire or failing to observe the speed rating of the tire (65mph in most cases) are the typical causes of…

A tire that is wearing more on the inside of the tread usually means that the trailer is either overloaded or the tire is toed out at the bottom which could be the result of something being bent, like the spindle, or out of alignment. You should take…

Tire wear on the outside of one of the rear tires on your tandem axle trailer is most likely due to incorrect tire pressure or sway. If you keep your trailer tires inflated to their max psi when cold then your tires will have the best chance of even…

The most general causes of a tire wearing on one side faster than the others could be as simple as inflation not being consistent across both side, front to back and side to side or it could be a bit more involved such as a bent spindle. I recommend…

When a tire is wearing just on the inside tread that means that either the trailer is overloaded or something is worn out or not aligned properly in the suspension system. If the trailer was overloaded then both of the front tires would be wearing…

You may be experiencing some wear in the suspension components that can cause tire wear and also be a symptom or cause the axle to be misaligned. Inspect your suspension components and if any of the holes where hardware goes is egg-shaped, that…

Load range D has a capacity of 1,220 lbs at 65 psi, whereas load range E has a capacity of 1,520 lbs at 80 psi. Basically the only difference between the two is the weight capacity. With trailer tires you always want to have them inflated to their…
