Hey Rickey, any chance that tire is under/over inflated? That is something that could cause it to wear unevenly compared to other tires. Typically when we see tires wearing on the inside edge only it is because the trailer is overloaded. Although you would usually see these signs on more than one tire. If the trailer is not overloaded, the suspension is aligned properly, and the tire pressure is ok, it could be a bent axle or spindle which would generally be caused by an impact.

Hey Rickey, did you find out if the tire was under or over-inflated, or if there was another issue like a bent axle? I'm curious because your experience could really help others dealing with similar tire wear problems.
