Unusual tire wear

We noticed the right front tire of the two on that side of our our microlite is showing wear on the outside tread only. No other of the 4 tires are showing any wear at all.

Our tire guy, who is also a camper, said that is a common occurrence due to toad edge and potholes. Cecil has maintained tire pressure and regularly inspect the tires even when we don’t camp, going so far as to move the trailer periodically to keep flat spots from developing.

Have others seen this and is it a common occurrence?

They are the original castle rock tires and have over 10k miles but never a problem until noticed this. Thanks

Looks to me that you have an Axle/tire out of alignment.



Google RV Axle alignment.

What was the name of the frame shop, if you don't mind me asking?
