Topic: Trailer tire wear????

[Blingn]

Do you guys have one trailer tire that wears out faster than the other?  I actually go thru the fronts first.  Is this because that is where the majority of the turning, and my brakes are at?

I think it's the brakes.

With mine, the brakes are on the rear set.   

The tread depth looks the same; but with the rears, the leading edge of the tread blocks is worn more...........

or your hitch is to low and your riding on the front tires more?

This sounds like a good candidate!

Huh so WA is the only state that requires brakes on both axles? 

[Rocksurfer]

Turning, brakes, and weight is mostly on the front axle, which can wear them faster.

I think the amount of brakes is dependent on the gross weight of the trailer.  
(Mine is 7000lb, 2 axles, 1 brake axle)

Weight, and turning would be my best guess.  You guys pull your rigs pretty far forward on your trailer blingn, I bet thats part of the reason.  Not to mention you've got that tool box full of random on the front too.

at least your times are still holding up. i now have 3 new tires and one old one. thats 3 blow out ive had in 1 season

load your trailer correctly  and keep the tires at max stated (sidewall) pressure

My rears wear way faster. That is because with my setup if I run a 1" drop receiver the tongue is a little high, but with a 2" drop receiver the tongue is way too low. I could load the Yota farther forward but then I have too much tongue weight. When I buy new tires for my trailer I'm going to go with the next size up to hopefully level it out.

Just rotate the tires.........

I burned up the rears first. the fronts still have a ton of tread but the rears are toast. They are the original cheap tires that came with the trailer and I need to upgrade anyway. How many miles you guys figure you are getting out of a set of trailer tires?
