I have a 2017 tandem axle trailer with Carlisle tires and the left rear is wearing bad on the inside and the belt is showing. I have 28,000 mile on them. What would cause the one tire to start wearing like that? I always run the correct air pressure of the recommended 50 psi. Thanks
Trailers don't have adjust capability like vehicles, and few people ever thing about rotating trailer tires. Sounds like a little bit of a camber issue on that hub. 28,000 miles isn't too bad but I bet you would get a lot more if you rotate them from now on.
Bent spindle or loose bearing.
If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity,
nothing else matters.
I’ve never tracked how many miles I have on a trailer tire. I couldn’t even guess. I just go by wear or every 3 years replace them. What do you guys do, actually write down and track the mileage?

My truck actually tracks the miles when I’m towing a trailer, that’s the only reason I know.Originally Posted by DaveTTN
low pressure, bent spindle/axle, loose bearings, lack of rotation.
I rotate the tires on my tandem twice a year. Also, wear is much better with P tires compared to trailer tires I used to run.

Same here cant stress this enough. I will never buy trailer specific tires again they are just not good tires. We do the same on all of our work trailers as well.

what is the order of rotation, just front to back?
