Default Re: uneven trailer tire wear

a simple thing to check is the tightness of the pivot points on the tandem axle pivot where the two springs connect. if that was overtightened when manufactured, it will force one tire to always be carrying more weight than the other. it should be snug, but not overtight to the point the two tandem axles on both sides can move evenly over rought terrain and pivot freely.

a good spray lube will help keep things moving freely on all the spring mounts when the bolts are torqued properly.

another possibility is a factory defect on the tire. trailer tires get much less quality control than automotive tires.
