I think I would change them all.We had one on a 2011 trailer that the tread started to swell.I found it when I pulled into a camp ground.we were not that far from home on that trip so put the spare on before we headed home.When I took it off the rim and looked a it the inside lining had a wrinkle in it like the whole tire had swelled and had stretched the inter liner.I had always replaced the China may pops when I bought a trailer until this one and the wife was on my case about putting new tires on less than a year old trailer and I thought maybe I am making to much out of it.But this proved me wrong.Tires were built in Aug 2010
There is a RV trailer here at Daytona now sitting on the side of I 95 with the fender well riped up so bad that I think the guy took his stuff out of it and just left it there.
Your tire that had a "wrinkle" on the inside and started to "swell" on the outside is a perfect candidate for filing a complaint with NHTSA. I have previously posted a list of the info NHTSA is looking for and if you add the "swell" and the "wrinkle" pictures it would be hard for them to ignore once there were a couple of other complaints from the same tire plant that also involve what we think is a structural detachment.
