How did the old tires wear?

Not really worn bad but both the inner and outer sides are worn more than the center. They are 3.5 years old and one got a bubble in the sidewall so I was replacing both.
Makes sense that something is off though. When I got the boat 3.5 years ago I ordered new tires and my uncle replaced the tires and u bolts on it.

I would check your u bolts and recenter the axle. The tires still look big. Not much clearance

thats a sign you rode on them underinflated most of the time. if the inside wore faster than the outside that would indicate being over inflated.

since the wear was even on both sides of the tires then that indicates the axle wasnt crooked with the frame so it was most likely off center from the day it was bought. my last trailer was like that, first thing i did after getting it home was to adjust the axle position since the fenders were fixed and not adjustable.

any update on what you did to fix it?
