Tires looked pretty good when I bought it. Noticed the outer edge of one is unusually worn the other day. Tires really didnt sag much, but it turns out that i've been running them with 20 lbs. I'm hoping running them low caused the damage and I dont have trailer problems

Only 35 lbs too low.....JADA for sure!
That wear pattern don't look good!!! Keep a close eye on the new ones.
You got a bent axle.
Cheap insurance to have the alignment of that trailer checked while you're at it. Trailer tires are expensive and you will ruin a set of new tires by the time it wears enough to confirm a problem. Also, blowouts are no fun especially when you're pulling with a chick truck AND they never happen in a good place.

I've posted in this subject in the past, so here goes. Most boat trailers come from the manufacturer with undersized axles. Especially for smaller boats. Big green carp boats not so much. When the axle is loaded beyond it's capacity, the tires begin to splay outward like that, causing them to wear on the insides. I found this out the hard way when I was going through a set of tires every year. Took the trailer to a trailer manufacturer and he said I had a half ton axle which wasn't sufficient even though my boat wasn't that heavy. However, loaded with gear and bouncing down the road put a lot more down pressure on the axle. I ordered a bigger axle from Southwest Wheel in Texas for a little over $100 and changed it myself. My tires stopped wearing out.
yep warped axle
You may have axle problems too, but 20# psi DEFINITELY aint good.:rolleyes:
