The 3 most likely culprits are a cocked spindle, under-inflation, and
unbalanced load.

Low end trailers are notorious for having misaligned spindles. But not
as notorious as trailer ties aree for being under inflated. I can't ever
recall gettin ga new boat trailer tha didn't have its tires under
inflated. And if they're unvenly underinflated, the one with the lower
pressure will absorb the bulk of the wear -- usually evident as wear on
both edges with noticeable cupping on one edge or the other.
