I own a 2008 Fleetwood Mallard 180CK Travel Trailer; its tires are wearing odd to me.
The tires are wearing on the inside and outside edges faster than the middle of the tread ........
Is this due to the axles being out of alignment or is it simply air pressure ....... I'm running them at 50 PSI as indicated on the side of the coach.
Thank you
Tracy
ANSWER: Hi Tracy, the most common cause of the tire wear that you are describing is that the tires are under-inflated. Even though you state that you are filling your tires to the recommended PSI written on the placard on your RV, you may actually be under-inflating your tires.
Unless you have owned this travel trailer since it was new, you cannot be sure if the previous owner has replaced the tires with a different brand of tire that requires a different air pressure to carry your trailer's weight. To be safe, I would first look at the maximum tire pressure rating for your tire listed on the tire sidewall. The maximum load rating will also be listed on the sidewall of the tire. You can also visit the tire manufacturer's website and see their recommendations for PSI based on your Travel Trailer's loaded weight.
