I noticed that my front driver tire and my rear passenger tire are both wearing significantly on the inside. The other tires have even wear. It doesn't make sense. They are on opposite axles. What would cause this? Need to replace tires anyway so I would like to make sure that I am not putting good money to waste, Thanks

They might need to be aligned. I used a semi truck repair place to check mine before I got new tires. There is information online about how to look at your tires to see if your axles need to be aligned.

sounds like you have bent axles, they can be straigtend depending on the person doing it it may work it may not, I typically just rotate the tires around the trailer to extend life as much as possible, unless it you are putting tons of miles on it you will probably be fine.

I'd check with a semi repair facility,If you don't have a horse trailer repair business near by, they align semi axles. They might be able to suggest a course of action if you need help. There are you tubes that talk about alignment which could be your first stop. A couple you tubes showed how to use a 2x4 to check the tire positions and if the are out of whack.
