Re: Wear pattern on trailer tire

Have you checked the toe in and camber on the trailer? Drive straight with trailer, stop and measure toe in and camber when the motorcycle is on the trailer. Some of those teeny tiny tires are not rated for very fast speeds. I had to replace an axle on my trailer after a spinout. But this was a 3,500 pound axle, not a teeny tiny axle/tire combination. It may be that the rating of the axle was optimistic/unrealistic and did not handle the load or a bump once. Overloaded like in a turn and hitting a bump could have bent the axle causing permanent excessive camber which can eat up tires.

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.
