    Trailer tire wear??

    I have a 96 nitro 170 DC on a venture single axle trailer. What would cause the tires to wear on the inside on both sides. I'm thinking i may need new leaf springs but want to be sure before I start. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

    Could be an overloaded trailer too. Check your trailer rating tag compared to your loaded boat and motor weight.

    wear on the inside is caused by: camber or toe wear, usually from misaligned, loose parts, or incorrect ride height.

    Or, could be hubs. This is usually the first tell tale on oil bath Ranger hubs.
