Had the same problem once. It's caused by wheel bearing hubs not tightened
and/or lubricated exactly the same from one side of the trailer to the
other. One side drags just a little more than the other pulling trailer
ever so slightly sideways. Over the miles this translates to uneven tire
wear.

Have your bearings checked and adjusted by someone who understands how
important this is.

http://tinyurl.com/34w29g One of the folding 4' x8' kit trailers. It had several trips from S. Calif to Salt Lake City loaded to the gills without this kind of wear. Recently, been towing a honda CBR1000, about 475lbs. 3-4 thousand miles. Major wear on tires. ONLY change was installation of oil filled hubs. ?????? thanks gary
