    Can be a few things.
    Poor tyres, but not usually.

    Often is under-inflation and or loose bearings

    Hmmmm it was a 4 year old WE trailer. Beat to ####. I found it unimaginable that a tire could do that.

    I would say a combination of Wheel bearings, under inflation, and perhaps the outside tire was replaced causing different diameters in the set.

    Ok so everything and anything. Got it. LOL.

    Thanks. I just want to learn. Thing is I distinctly remember the trailer wasn’t especially bad when I pulled it. I saw it in pretrip and just took it to the yard. Figured it was the right thing to do. Wasted 4 hours while I waited. All I learned was drop it for the next poor loser to deal with. What a horrible system and no wonder the company CSA score isn’t that good.
     
    lovesthedrive Thanks this.

    Aside from what espressolane said, ####### Western Express drivers can cause tires to do that too

    With a lot of what Espressolane said, there will be other tells on the tyre.
    this was limited to the inside edge, so it makes other issues less likely
