Description of the problem	Had operated surveyor travel trailer, by forest river, for two years, accumulating about 10,000 miles of service. On trip this summer we noticed on 6/24/06, one tire was worn down on inside surface, to the point where the steel cable was visible (photos available). Replaced tire. Further on the trip on 7/2/06 we noted that another tire was worn smooth on the inside 2 to 3 inches. Replaced tire. On 7/8/06 we noticed that the tire installed on 6/24/06 was already wearing smooth on the inside after traveling only 1,400 miles. Replace this tire. Luckily we observed the worn tires before the tire failed, so we narrowly avoided a blowout. I complained to the travel trailer dealer who sold the trailer (we are original owners. No response. I contracted al-ko and they offered to ship replacement axles, have them returned for inspection and have the new axles installed. I got a verbal report that three of the spindles were out of alignment, but only two had produced uneven wear. Al-ko claimed that the arm holding the spindle shaft was bent. I request a description of the deflection but have not received it. The al_ko representative said that the wheel must of hit a stump or curb. I told him that i have driven all the miles on the trailer and do not recall hitting any such objects. Note that at the time of sale i observed misalignment between adjacent wheels and the dealer said that was normal when trailer takes a turn. *jb
