We have over 15K on our Escapade with the original tires (we picked it up at the CSC factory in Virginia in June of 2010) with no noticeable wear. We routinely run it in the 70-80mph range, and have had it over all kinds of surfaces, from deep sand in Arizona to broken pavement & gravel in the western national parks. We'll keep an eye out, though . . .

Looks like the same wheel and tire combo I have on my Aluma, I have around 2800 miles on them with no noticeable wear.

Friend of mine has the same trailer. Had the same thing happen. Like it has already been suggested, check Toe and camber.

If they wore even acrossed the tread, I would say it was just a cheap tire. I bought a new 14x7 box trailer and the original bias ply tires didn’t last 1000 miles. Put a set of radials on it and never did wear them out.

I have to agree, sounds like lousy tires, not anything wrong with the trailer itself.

I would check the Toe-in and Camber. I don't care what brand or type of tire you buy if those are out very much, the tire's will wear fast! Good luck!!!

I agree... Toe-in must have some sort of issue or those tires are made of paper and black paint.

how are the bearings???

Re: tires worn out on my trailer by the time i got to florida

If it was a toe-in or camber problem, the tire should have shown a irregular wear pattern or cupping long before the tire wore smooth. Some tires are just one step above a inner tube and are just simply cheap tires.

i'm thinking ot just a bad set of tires cause the new ones are still look like new and i did check the alignment as i called the company and they suggested that and told me how to do it and was ok . well my next big trip should tell the story as were getting ready to go on another one in a couple of months as soon as i know theres not going to be any weather issues up north around organ, and Idaho yellow stone . thanks guys and if anyone is thinking of getting a trailer to pull this one is a good one for the money i would recommend it
