If you’re like me, uneven trailer tire wear feels like theft. It’s not fair. One side of the tire is in the prime of its life, and the other is eating through a straw and watching Family Feud reruns. When an RV tire wears unevenly, it wears faster, and you pay the early price.

So what causes uneven trailer tire wear? In particular, what if your travel trailer or 5th-wheel tires are wearing on the inside only?

Reason 1: Your Tires Are Underinflated

Any time you see uneven tire wear, check your inflation first. You’d be amazed what problems under- or over-inflation can cause, even tire blowouts!
