I'm finding on my trailer that the driver side rear tire seems to wear more than the other tires, like big time. Makes me wonder if it's due to the time I went over the curb slightly backing into a customers driveway with about 4.5 yards of mulch on the trailer, so the whole rig probably weighed 5,000 pounds. That particular tire went way up into the rim when I backed into the driveway. I know on tandem axle trailers, you have that piece in the center of the two tires that the leaf springs connect to, so I wasn't worried and thinking oh it was just doing what it was designed to do, but I've always thought since then that that particular tire looked to have a little bit of negative camber compared to the front tire on that side, but it's hard to tell since they do that anyways whenever the trailer turns.
Opinions? Do you think most of the weight on that side went on that axle? It has two 3500 pound axles and I can't remember if it lifted up the front axle on that side when I went over the curb I think it came close, but not quite.
