Another tire wear thread

My guess is that the tire was not seated correctly or the wheel was not mounted correctly. Then there’s the possibility that the tire thread may be defective or damaged. One way I would think this can be verified is by spinning the tire on something where you can see if the thread pattern is moving sideways or not straight enough.

As for the flat spot, perhaps the wheel locked up due to frozen brakes or because the brakes have been applied for a long time, say, in the case of a dropped trailer. If the trailer was empty and the dual single tire is taller than the one beside it, then excessive wear from a locked up wheel will mostly show on the taller tire. Locked up wheels due tend to free themselves eventually once you hit the road.

Had the same problem on my old trailer my bushings were bad and axle nuts needed to be readjusted because of bearing wear. To check this jack up the trailer see if you can move the wheels up and down. If the bushings are ok and axle nut is tight. possible that the tire is out of round and/or is to be balanced. Know air pressure may cause this as well

 

Funky tire. Probably broken belts from the accident. Put 2 new tires on and go from there

 

What brand is tire? Good or cheapo? You can check bushings etc.like already mentioned. I think its just the tire(s). Possibly. Have had this happen and replaced tires and didn't happen on next set.

 

If the wear spots were across both mated tires in the same spot it most likely started out as brake skid. Doesn’t take much depending on coarseness of road surface to grind off some serious rubber. Once a tire gets those spots they just keep getting worse because every time the tire rotates it bounces and skips across that spot and keeps chipping away at it. Thump thump thump thump!
Worst case if you want to run them a little longer is to turn the outside one on the wheel 180 degrees from the other. That way the spots are opposite. This will help slow that wear down a bit. You jack up axle deflate tire, lube, turn, and air back up. Shouldn’t have to take the wheel off of the hub.
