landry Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 Maybe someone ca help me out here. My tires are wearing in both edges super quickly. Has always done it. I keep them at the recommended 50psi. I am thinking I should move to a trial tire as I do get flat spots if it sits for a while. I thought maybe this was causing my problem?????? I barely get two seasons out of them - likely about 15,000km max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 If the edges wear, they're under inflated, if the centers war, they're over inflated. I run load range C 530 x 12 on my trailer, recommended pressure at max is 80 psi. I use about 60 otherwise they bounce like a billy goat. Radials are better if you can get the size.

landry Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 I am at correct psi so I am thinking the tire is a poor choice maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 Could quite well be the issue, what size are the tires? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoePa Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 After reading all the talk about tires, bearings etc, I thought I'd check the extra bearings and seals I had stored in the boat - glad I did - the bearings were rusty and useless - then I figured that I'll get a whole hub assembly for the trailer and have that along just in case - to do I needed to measure the bolt circle so the tires fit - thought the easiest way would be to drop the spare that was bolted under the boat - well I couldn't get the 1/2 inch bolts holding the spare on to the trailer loose - tried and tired - just couldn't budge the nuts - ended up having to heat the nuts with a torch - finally got the spare off - So here I'm towing the boat all over the place thinking I'm ok - if I had a flat and needed the spare there was no way that I could have gotten it off the trailer - boy you can't be careful enough - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 well I couldn't get the 1/2 inch bolts holding the spare on to the trailer loose Good idea to loosen those wheel lugs at least once a year and re-torque them just so you know they'll loosen up when you need them to. Lucky you found out now rather than on the side of the hiway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landry Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 They r 175/80 D13. Max load 1360 lbs. 50psi cold max pressure. Boat is an 850lb aluminum with 300+lb optimax 75hp and way too much fishing stuff according to my wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 Well that size should do quite fine, maybe just a bad pair. Try for radials next time, D's are bias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landry Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 I've been through three sets. Same thing every time. It's weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
