| I pulled my boat over to Port St. Joe for the week. When I got there my left trailer tire was really worn about 2" on the inside. The right one showed alittle but not as bad. When I towed home yesterday it looked like it was about to be in the radial string. Now I have towed this boat all over the world and to St Joe 3 times in the last 2 months and nothing like this before. My tire pressure was were I keep it at 32 psi so It must be something to do with the axle or springs. Any help or direction would be much appreciated. Oh yeah, we slayed the fish in the bay...report to come soon when I upload the pics.

Jack up that side of the trailer and wiggle the tire make sure your bearings aren't bad, check all of the leaf spring and axle mounting hardware. this can also be caused by a bent splindle from hitting a curb.

Thanks for the info there guy's. The tire wearing the worst really started throwing grease on the wheel this past trip. I will jack it up this weekend and check it out. About the pressure, max cold rating on my tire is 50 psi so I alway's wondered if I should take it there. Thanks again.

spitting grease on the rim, wheel bearings for sure. Replace them(about $40) and don't use teflon grease when you put it back together.
