Trailer Issues
Has anyone encountered any problems with unusual tire wear on "Tracker" trailiers. When this trailer was less than 1 year old the inside edge was totally gone on both tires. The place that sold it replaced the axel and both tires. I have just noticed that the outside edge is now wearing with less than a full season of use.

The alignment of the trailer is off. I have used alignment shims to correct this on trailers in the past just like you would do on a car. If it is too severe you would have to heat and bend the axle. It could also be the axle is not straight. Either way I would recommend a professional.

MIbasser;
These are "Tracker Marine" tires on the trailer. Thanks for the info |

Seems trailer tires are not as good as they used to be ten years ago. I eat two tires a year out of 6 on my trailers.
I think the quality is very poor. Capt Mike
