I had a similar problem on one of my stock trailers. Turns out the axles were bent a bit. Just took them to frame straightening outfit and got them aligned. End of problem. This would be something to check.

Not pointing fingers, however most of the time when a trailer has tire problems it is on the right hand side of the rig. This is caused because the driver ran over a curb or some other object while turning. Best to get the alignment checked..

I am so glad I had all of your input, I took my trailer to a very good frame/alignment shop. They do big semis, etc. several horse and stock trailers. My trailer frame has been welded to my torsion axles, with no blocks inbetween the frame and axle, thence when weight in the trailer causes uneven weight on axles,, this shop said they have seen alot of this in recent years. My previous trailer had several blow outs,etc. same year of trailer same brand,,, just not as big,, this one has LQ,, last one had 8' dress. room, both 3 horse slant. So again thanks for the input,, my trailer will be safe on the road once again
