Tires with internal slipped belts can look like you describe.
A bent axle or the stub is easy to see. Pull forward several fee until all the side load stress is out of the tire. Now stand back behind the trailer and look at that one odd shaped tire. Worn shackle pins or bushings/etc.
Your in luck looking for a LT or all position tire for your trailer. The ST205-75-15 C = 1820 lb capacity.
Depending on room in the wheel well and proper wheel pressure/wheel width requirements the Goodyear Wrangler HT in a LT235/75-15 C (50 psi) at 1980 lb capacity. Most LT tire makers carry this size.
And a Wrangler HT in a LT215/75-15 D (65 psi) at 2090 lbs capacity. This tire is close to the same diameter as your current tires.
Maxxis LT U-168 are a commercial grade tire with several 15" sizes and have became popular with all types of trailer owners.
Vanco 2 from Continental another popular tire for trailer users has several 15" sizes and load capacities.
I see the Yokohama RY215 in a 700R 15 D at 2040 lbs capacity is popular on some of the other RV websites.
