I will join the others in having this issue. But I'm including pictures!!! We have close to 7,500 miles on the trailer since Jan (we live in ours). When I pointed this tire wear out to the dealer recently, the service rep said "have you watched the tires while you back up and manuever into a site? That's the reason for the wear." I have since Googled this forum and I think it makes sense that the axel is not aligned correctly. I am also including my CAT Scale results to be sure it's not due to overloading. Like the previous posts, this tire wear is only on the rear axel tires.


Finally, here are the numbers for the weigh-ins:

Trailer GVWR 16,825 lbs (axels are 7,000 lbs x 2)
Truck Alone
Steer Axel: 5320
Drive Axel: 4420
Total: 9740

With Trailer (two weigh-ins several months apart)
Steer Axel 5360 5360
Drive Axel 7900 8040
Trailer 12320 12580
Total 25580 25980

Tongue 3480 3620 (both about 20%)
GVW 15800 16200 (trailer wt. + tongue wt.)

Do I need to have the axel aligned and replace the tires? Please feel free to correct my math or provide any advice you may have
