What Causes One Side Of Tires On a Gooseneck Trailer To Wear Faster Than the Others
Question:
My gooseneck trailer is eating up tires on back right axle

It looks like most of the tire wear on your right rear tire is in the center of the tire and if that is the case then this issue is generally caused by the tire being over inflated. It is very important to fill all trailer tires to the max psi listed on the sidewall while cold. The other thing you might check is the spindle and or axle tube to make sure they are straight and not bent (axle tube will have slight curvature). If the spindle or axle tube was bent that could then be putting more pressure on one side so that side then wears the tires faster.
The Karrier ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire with 15" Galvanized Wheel part # AM32397 that you were looking at has a radial ply with load range c rating so make sure this matches what you have now if this is the one you want to use. If you can provide me with these bits of info as well as your tire size I can make sure you get the correct replacement.
