Looks like we dodged a bullet coming back from Nebraska.
In prepping for this weekend's local race, I noticed the trailer tires. All 4 inside shoulders looked like this one.
New tires installed this morning already. |

Glad that nothing bad happened. I was just checking my trailer tires the other day and, despite having lots of tread, they are old and beginning to dry rot. Four new tires coming soon.

I gotta buy 6 new tires for Das Boat's trailer, too, but I only move it 150yds at a time from storage to the water, so I can hold off for a little bit.

My utility trailer I use to tow my RZR did the same thing. I assume a previous owner overloaded it at some point and bent the axle. I went to a trailer store and bought a new axle. They even stock them at Tractor Suppy. |

Over the past 10-15 years, all rubber made is inferior due to 'green' policies. Trailer tires that used to last years now turn into bombs at 3 or 4 years of age, car tires 6 or 7. Tires used to last 15-20 years or more. It's all about turning the water temp up slowly so we don't notice how shitty the 'new normal' really is.

Trailer tires don't scrub in turns like that, i would also recommend checking axles for straightness.
That's a severe amount of wear, is there anything they could rub on when bounces (compresses)? It's not alignment as all 4 same condition. I've seen many trailers be overloaded and bend axles in. |

Good catch. My Dad changed the tires on his RV every other year, regardless.
