Does it have the wet bolt kit from factory? If not the plastic bushing on the spring hanger bolts some mfg use will wear out and could cause a similar issue.

Good idea . . . I'm going to "assume" ๐ that the rig has the original bolt kit as we were the original purchasers and no work as been done on our running gear.

Yes, several weekend trips, about 1500 km so far, another trip this weekend.

Mine looked very similar to that after approximately 8k miles. A tire shop told me it was normal because of tight turns, backing into spaces, etc. Didn't make sense to me as I'd expect to see the same wear on all sides.
I had an alignment performed at a shop equipped and experienced with that sort of thing (FWIW, $350 in California for two axles a couple of years ago).
I replaced the tires and 9k miles later the wear is perfectly even.
The shop told me they were out of alignment enough to cause the uneven wear and it likely came that way from the factory. Given the **** workmanship on almost all trailers, I don't think there's any reason to believe these things are delivered with proper alignment.

Have you made any more trips with those Endurance tires lately?

Then "SoundGuy," your own (inferior quality) tire failure in your driveway, the evidence just seems to point to my tire showing hints of early failure.
To be clear though, my blown tire showed no signs of uneven wear at all, the steel belt simply split, and inside the tire we found an oval bubble of about 3" where the plies had separated. Had the tire not gone completely flat in my driveway I'd not have noticed it at all ... scary. :E

I've had tires wear like that on my GN road trailer.
Usually it was a toe problem or bent axle stub or camber issues which any big rig trailer repair shop can fix by bending every thing back to proper alignment.
And of course as one poster says the tires tread belt is coming loose can cause wear like that.
A big rig shop can tell you what the problem is.
I run my LT tires on my trailers for 45k-55k miles and 7-8 years so I always fix any abnormal tire wear.
Those Endurance ST tires are new and just out but sound like a good idea.

Do you do lots of tight turns in one direction? Looks like the outside edge is just worn from normal turns.
