On the return trip I brought the pressures up to 55 psi and found the treads temps ran cooler but so was the outside air temps so I am sure this wasn't a fair test.

Just a thought but I once got a new trailer and they forgot to grease one of the wheel bearings.  I had noticed a similar early tread wear on the outer edge before the entire bearing gave way and the wheel started wobbling freely - probably isn't what's happening to you but its worth a quick look.

I suppose even a loose bearing might cause the same issue. Definitely worth checking out.

There's a "Insert video" button on the post editor that lets you paste in the youtube URL. In the meantime, what did you see in the video?
