Default Tire wear

The center of the tire has virtually no wear at all, the outer edges that are sevierly feathering. Are the axles out of allignment, if so where can i get them alligned?

The 14" tires & rims seem to small for the trailer, although it calls for 14" rims on the Manufactures plate.

I'm thinking of swapping out the axles for airstream style DURA TORQUE AXLEs.

Also , on my GS Cavalier, what is the 5 lug bolt pattern?

Isn't that wear pattern due to under-inflating?

14" wheels are 5x4.5 on my GS Cavalier, I believe it's pretty standard across the industry. You can find em new at Farm or Tractor supply type stores or camping/RV stores - or save a bunch and get one from salvage yard for $20 with a tire usually.
