So I hooked up my utility trailer (12' single axle) this morning to take my ATV over to this guys house to get fixed
Since I had it out I decided to go ahead and repack the bearings and some other general maintenance while I had it out.
I noticed this at the end of last hunting season, but never really gave it a lot of thought until today
My tires are wearing pretty heavily on the INSIDE of the tread. What would cause this?
The trailer is 2 years old, but I use it every weekend to haul my ATV and generator back and forth to my hunt camp.
I always load the trailer where it is perfectly balanced(tongue weight and left to right weight distribution).
The only thing I can think is with the weight over the axle, it torques the axle just enough to put a bit more pressure on the inside of the tires as opposed to the center
The trailer is rated for 6000lbs, and I have not come close to that. I have probably had 4000 on it a few times, but never maxed out.
I have one brand new spare(which is identical to the tires on it). I am going to get another new tire and go ahead and replace them, but I want to prevent this happening to the new set if there is something I can do to it
Is it possible to get an alignment on a trailer?
Weird thing is, I have the same exact trailer, but in 10' model that I have my work equipment mounted on. I pull it every day and have a lot more miles than m ATV trailer, and there is no tire wear at all on it
And it has a 100 gallon spray tank sitting in the middle of it 😕
bent axel or over loading it. this would cause the tires to fold at the top. in and wear in the inside. on a car you would get a camber adjustment but on a trailer you cant do nothing about it.
+2 on the bent axle I have the same problem on my trailer.
