    Wheel/tire Alignment?

    I was just wondering if there is a way to do a quick check on the alignment of my trailer wheels? I just got some new tires and don't want them to be wearing out again in less than 1yr. I just had some cheap tires just taken off, and granted they were cheap....it seemed like they may have been wearing more on the outside edges. Anyone got any advice before actually having to take it to an alignment shop or something?

    If they are wearing on both outside edges, that is usually an indication that the air pressure was too low.

    No, They were just wearing on the outside edge(of each tire). The inside edges weren't really as noticable.

    Mine is a single axle, and It does sit fairly level when in tow.

    Re: Wheel/tire Alignment? (Bubbatn)

    I also have problems with my tires wearing on the inside. Pressures are good thaey should be. I have a 188vx single axel and heard that Ranger may have not beefed up the trailers to handle the weight of the 188. I sure don't want to be buying tires ever 2 years.
