I lost all the tread on the center of my right front tire. When I changed the tire I noticed that the space between the tires on the left was 1 and 1/2 inches colcer then the right side.

Have you hit a curb or big pothole recently?

Was this while trailer was on the jack? Or did you use a block?

If you take the load off or overload the torsion, it will change the caster/camber of the tire in relationship to the trailer frame and that possible is what you are seeing?

If this is while weight is equal on all tires, oops, you have a problem....good luck!
