    Ranger Trail tire wear

    2007 single axle trailer tires wearing on the inside rib. Any suggestions as to what is causing this?

    Overloaded or bent axle.
    If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity,
    nothing else matters.​

    Its the axle. Common for torsion axles.

    Put on goodyear endurance tires. Had the same issue with the goodyear marathons. The endurance tires are alot better at handling the load of a single axle. Also get rid of your oil bath hubs. They will fail you at the worst time.

    I’ve seen it from guys towing with their hitch too high. Camber becomes toe out.

    Had the same issue. Took mine to a trailer alignment shop and they corrected the problem. Cost me around 100 dollars and a year later my new tires still look new.

    When I had excessive inside tire wear on my 2007 trailer with single axle, it was due to bent torsion axle. After replacing the torsion axle the problem went away.
