Do they show some odd tread wear like, scuffing on either the edge of
the tire?

If so, then the axle is probablyout of alignment. Yes, that can happen.


Small trailer tires with a big load can run hot, especially with the
older bias-ply tires.

I ahve an 18 foot Chris Craft v hull and the factory shorline trailer
came with smaller 13 inch tires. I ususally run about 35 lb pressure in
them, and they still squat down pretty good. Yes they run a bit warm,
but not tot he point of boiling and shucking tread.

If it wasn't for having to dink with the fenders and knowing they
wouldn't hit the boat, I'd probably change to 14's

I have an 18' Tri-Hull sitting on a single axle trailer. After driving
about 30 miles today, I noticed that both tires were quite hot. The hubs
and rims were cool, though. Tires have proper pressure, and bearings were
recently packed with high-temp grease. Am I missing something, or is this
normal?
