lotsip, mine were Vail tires also. Changed them out for Towmax radials while in Montana. Can't say for sure that the issue you are experiencing is totally tire related but thats what appears to have been the problem I had.

Thanks for the input. Seems the more i read in these forums, the more people I find who had the same or similar wear issues on their Vails as I had.

I will check my tire brand if I ever get her back from the dealer.

another axle problem

I too have a Forest River Wildwood 195bh that is eating up the tires. I bought it a couple of months ago and immediately put 3200 miles on it going from East Texas to California and back. The tires wore so bad on the insides I thought I was going to have to buy new tires before I got home. Now its been at the dealership for a month. The factory sent a new axle but the dealer says its the same as the other axle and that the axle has been hitting the frame. They suspect the springs are not stiff enough or something. They have still not found a defenent solution.

I changed the tires, axle flipped it to match the height of my truck. Three trips later, the wife says "we need a bigger unit". So, we sold the 2014 195bh for trade in value and we bring home our 2016 27rkss sat. I guess we will see how those tire do.
