[QUOTE="Frogman Ladue, post: 271452, member: 8253"] Former tire dealer here... If mechanically (lugs, bearings) are good as you say they are, and tires have been balanced, and there's no run-out in the rim or the tire....three things are left. 1.)Bent axel. This will cause a toe issue and wear the tire on the inside or outside. It'll wobble due to the tire trying to roll down the road at an angle. 2.) Flat spots. Tire's get flat spots on them when they sit too long. And, you're seeing the tire bounce off the flat spots as it goes down the road. 3.)You're asking too much from rubber. No tire on the road is perfectly round. Trailer tires have zero industry standard to measure rubber formula, conicity, runout, etc. They just have to be cheap and black. Quality speaking, trailer tires are junk. If the lugs are tight, the bearings are good, the air pressure is right...leave it be. Let it go and see if the tread starts showing some wear issues.
