I am not really sure what you mean by "gets out" but if you are experiencing uneven wear patterns then this is generally attributed to improper inflation. For example, if the center of the tire is wearing faster than the outside then this means you likely are overinflating the tire. If the outside edges of the tire are wearing faster then that means you are likely underinflating. The proper psi for even tread wear is listed on the sidewall of the tire in the from of cold fill psi. I recommend the Americana Kenda ST205/75D14 Bias Trailer Tire part # AM1ST52 for replacement.
