Tire Question

[Johnnyfry]

I am getting unusual wear on the inside of all 4 tires. Tread in the center and on the outside edge is pretty much as expected after 20,000 plus miles and I always monitor pressure (80psi), but the inside edges of all 4 tires are worn.

Any ideas?

Got this from etrailer.com

There are a couple of things that can lead to the tires wearing on the inside only. Basically what is happening is the top of the tire is leaning in towards the trailer causing most of the weight to ride on the inside. This pretty much means the axle is bent, especially if both sides have the same problem. If it were just one side, there is a chance that is just the spindle that is bent. It will keep wearing on the inside until the issue is resolved and that could mean a new axle.

Makes sense to me.

Hello John,
If everything is as it was before your trip and you can eliminate an encounter with some type of "road hazard" such as a "California style" bridge/road bed transition, then one possibility would be too much weight on the axles?

I suggest you weigh your FULLY LOADED TT. What you describe is normally caused by overloading. Check GAWR ratings and compare to ACTUAL FULLY LOADED weighs. Yes, including fresh water AND the most water you carry in both waste tanks.
