I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM A TRIP IN THE MOJAVE DESERT AND STOPPED FOR FUEL AT HWY 395 AND HWY 58 INTERSECTION. I NOTICED THAT ONE OF MY TRAILER TIRES HAD NO TREAD LEFT ON IT AND THAT THE OTHER ONE WAS STARTING TO WEAR VERY BADLY ON THE OUTSIDE EDGE. IT WAS THE RIGHT REAR TIRE THAT LOST ITS TREAD AND WAS LOOSING AIR AND IT WAS PUTTING EXCESSIVE STRESS ON THE ONE GOOD TIRE. IT CAUSED EXCESSIVE WEAR ON THE GOOD TIRE. I REPLACED THE BAD TIRE WITH THE SPARE AND MADE IT HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT THE TRAILER MANUFACTURE, FOREST RIVER, WAS AWARE THAT THE AXLES THEY PUT UNDER MY TRAILER WERE NOT SUFFICENT ENOUGH FOR A FULLY LOADED TRAILER. I WAS TOLD BY THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE A RECALL ON IT BUT THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE THE AXLES WITH A HEAVIER PAYLOAD AXLE FOR $500. THE SAME MODEL OF MY TRAILER NOW COMES STANDARD WITH THESE HEAVIER AXLES AS STANDARD EQUIPMENT. THE MODEL OF MY TRAILER, WHICH IS A 37' SIERRA, WAS NOT LISTED SO I USED ONE THAT THE MANUFACTURE MAKES UNDER A DIFFERENT NAME.
