The OP uses the trailer a lot of miles per year very unlike most camping trailers and can get 25k miles out of a set which is about normal for ST class tires as they have only around 8 or 9/32" of tread depth.
If he would go with good recommended LT tire with enough load capacity he could expect 50k-60k miles a set which is about what we get out of a LT tire on our commercial road trailers which can have a 15 to 16/32" of tread depth.
In the hauling business... or folks that wear tires out on their trailers in a couple of years it will pay to dump any brand ST tire and go with a good recommended LT tire.
Flat spot across the tread most likely is from a brake lockup which can happen even to a commercial grade all steel ply carcass tire like the Bridgestone R-238 LT tire.
I would say Goodyear has a winner with the new Endurance. The Endurance like any ST load E/D/C work better for rv folks whose trailers sits much of the year and times out before wearing out.
