Ok...answer is likely to be no on the worn one, but not so clear on the wavy sidewall ones. The one in pic is the worse of the ones I have with waves. The others are less pronounced.
When my trailer was new, I tried to get dealer to replace them, they took them to a tire shop who said they're fine. They also said it is common for tires to look like that, so I looked around their service lot and alot of trailers had tires with wavy sidewalls. I didn't like em then and don't like em now...especially in light of a guy I know who just had a blowout for no apparent reason.
Question boils down to, is it cosmetic or structural?
