Hi guys.
I recently purchased a 18' aluminum Harbercraft boat & single axle trailer. The tires looked fine upon first glance from the outside. When I was looking from the back side I realized both were quite worn, but only on the insides of the tires. What is causing this uneven tread wear on the trailer tires, and is there an easy solution for it.
The current tires are Maxxis steel belted radials ST75/80 R13. Does any one have experience with this brand of tires. Are they a good quality tire, or do you think the tires themselves may be part of the issue?
What tires would you recommend for this type of application. Also how many guys actually bother to have their trailer tires balanced. I have read posts that said the boat rides much smoother with the tires balanced, but next to nobody seems to bother doing this. What do you guys think.
Thanks in advance for any info.
