Great video. Thank you so much for your help and sharing with us your knowledge. I have this problem with a 2022 dorsey trailer (combo) in my back end axle.
typical big manufacturing compaines trying to make savings in the name of economy and totlay scrwing things up to the point the customers paying more in tyres
We have an odd issue where both the inside and the outside of all tires on our trailer edge wear before the tread air pressure is 105 and trailer has new bearings and bushings. Brand of tires doesn’t seem to matter and trailer is in alignment also truck is in alignment any thoughts would be appreciated
If these are 22.5 dual tires then 105 is more than necessary to carry the max load. Dropping to maybe 90 pounds would still accommodate the load and should eliminate the wear.
@@lonewolfmjm Yes, the same tire that carries around 6000-6500 pounds on the steer only carries only 4250 (34,000 divided by 2 axles and then by 4 tires) in a dual application. For that weight as a dual the same chart that says you need 105 or 110 psi for a single operation fully loaded only requires 75psi for your duals. Knowing that, you can confidently run 90psi in duals. more information here: czcams.com/video/tHN3fUFO7GM/video.htmlsi=5JQp493MXvfDaB08
Does welding the angle iron on the axle next to tires make a difference? I welded center between suspension. I did not weld the 8” pieces closer to tires.
As we get feedback it seems the wheel ends are significantly more important than the center, with many reports that omitting the middle lost nothing but omitting the outside was the same as doing nothing. I am also hearing from tanker operations specifically that the weld on the outside isn't helping them as much as our other customers. I assume this has to do with the liquid shifting weight, and the greatest amount of flex occurring at the weld on the suspension.
I have wear on the sides of all 8 tires, on a trailer. The pressure is 110, if 100 then the wear goes much faster. We did alignment twice, it didn't help. Wear only occurs when the trailer is loaded with more than 35,000 pounds, this is somewhere between 28-30,000 pounds on axel. No one can’t figure out what is wrong.
@@user-je9eg3qu6y then the axle flex is undoubtedly the cause of the wear. Tires that get worse fuel mileage ratings often handle axle flex better but the particular manufacturer has a lot to do with the overall life. I can’t recommend a particular trailer tire right now I suggest asking users what they find works best. Strengthening the axle as described in the video will help.
@MDAlignment I have the same thing with my spread axle cattle pot. The front axle wears horrible, but it seems that it may follow a wheel but not certain. The back axle has a whole new set of 4 with balance beads running 100 psi and are wearing wonderful. Curious on your thoughts @MDAlignment
@@travishinck3843 Spread axle trailers have terrible wear problems themselves simply because they are not designed to turn a corner as smoothly as a close tandem. The inside edge wear from axle flex is also an issue on a spread axle.
The available options are: purchase high rolling resistant tires from brands such as Falken. Verify that your wheel bearings are properly adjusted. It has been suggested that you could weld angle iron near the end of the axle similar to what has proven successful on trailer axles but we don't know of anyone that has tried it mostly due to warranty issues.
@@MDAlignment pin & point are not coming together yet. But agree it is useful to feeling good that the question is specific enough to feel good about the answer.

I see this exact wear with our trailers that are rear trailers in a train system specially when being hauled emptied

@@MDAlignment I should clarify 43ft hopper bottom almost always at full 34k on rear would the 90psi be ok for that

What kind of trailer/operation?

How do you fix inside tire wear if you have the light weight drive axle?

Im wondering if you have a similar video covering the 19.5 tire. In my case it is a Continental hybrid on a 2020 F550.
No video of that but you can call us at 515-967-5626 to discuss any issue. Helps to ask questions that pinpoint the problem.
