Just recently I bought four brand new tires for my flat bed jeep trailer. I have approx. 300 miles on them. I noticed that one of the tires was wearing really bad (all the way down to the wires). Would that mean I have a bent axel? if so wouldn't the other side be bad too since it just goes through to the other side? Or could it be a bent rim? I need to fix it before my next Jeep run witch is coming up very soon. Please Help!

Depends on where the bend is.
Make sure the center pin on the spring that holds the axle in place hasn't broken.
FIRST-Pull the wheel and ck the bearings..........
Agree with the forward weight on the trialer. What's your tongue weight? I would roll the jeep back to the angle point on the trailer.

First, check all points on LG's previous post, then take a look at this possibility:
A lot of light duty trailer axles are made with a slight arch like a rainbow to allow the axle to flex under load and not bend into a smiley face. If the u-bolts have worked loose or are broken or missing it is possible the tube has spun.God forgives, rocks don't
