    My tire blew out from the sidewall but the tech was pretty sure that belt spot wasn't recent. This trailer came out of Mexico so who knows what happened down there lol

    What do a Mercedes powered Freightliner and Jesus Christ have in common?

    Both die on a hill.

    I've spent plenty replacing oddly worn tires. There's two things that will do that sort of random wear pattern.

    Number one is a bruised casing. Especially on a Chinese tire, or one that is or used to be on a steer. The Chinese tires just aren't constructed as well. Steer tires are almost always near or at max capacity and take bumps the hardest. A Chinese tire on a steer is doubly likely to fail like this.

    On a trailer position, provided the tire isn't a sketchy old steer tire that was rotated back, it's gonna be bearings or adjustment, shocks, or bushings in that order of likelihood.

    Without any further detail, the trailer tire pictured looks like a damaged casing. Especially if the other 7 tires are wearing ok. Could have been curbed real bad, with the resulting out of round condition resulting in the wear you see.

    We tried it once a while back, I wasn't impressed with his pulled pork at all. May have been just getting started and may be better now. He asked for opinions on face book, wife gave a very nice, fair critique. He got all pissy so I told her to tell him what we really thought and to go pound sand in his ### !!!!

    Everybody here is ALWAYS trying to pass the buck and blame someone else. That and these trailers get the snot kicked out of them. It was an older trailer, don't remember exactly what year. 2002 maybe?
