[Rhodes22-list] Trailer Question

[R22RumRunner at aol.com]

Bob,
There are a lot of factors that could cause your tire wear. Proper tire  
inflation jumps to mind. Try checking pressure levels with a good truck tire  
gauge. Most auto gauges don't go that high. If all else fails, take it to a 
tire  dealer that also does alignments and have him check it out. Could 
simply be that  the axle was mounted incorrectly. Have you noticed any bow in 
the axle with the  Rhodes on it? It is possible that the axle is not strong 
enough to handle the  weight and is bowing in the middle, no matter where it 
came from. Crap  happens.

Hi  All,
I am finally realizing that my trailer tires are wearing only on the  
inside, but look almost new elsewhere.  I just returned from a trip to S.  
Florida which I do a couple times a year and this is ~1,000 miles round  trip.  I 
am reading that this could be caused by everything from the  tires being out 
of alignment to the axle being bowed because it is  insufficient for the 
load.  The trailer is a Triad single axle and is  exactly four years old.  Any 
ideas as to what would cause this?  I  can't believe that I need a new axle 
after only 4 years?

Thanks,
