    tire wear issue ?

    I have a duel axle trailer and on the port side lead tire I have excessive tire ware on the inside tread. All others (3) are in excellent condition with hardly any indication of wear. Ill also mention that this is a Ranger trail trailer 2018 carrying a 520l . I am looking for a place to start for a fix

    Take a look at the shackles, springs, bushings, etc in that area. Sometimes they get out of wack and don't allow the springs to work, thus making the tire take all the impact.

    Most likely a bent spindle.

    I would be paying a visit to your dealer and possibly talking to Ranger.

    I have a bent spindle on mine , rotate front to back and my tires still last longer than the 4 years that you are supposed to replace trailer tires at. Cheaper to put tires on it every 5-6 years than a new axle but i only live a couple miles from the ramp
