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.
Yep, I think those tires seem to be a prime candidate to be our replacements.
I didn't notice this issue until after our return from South Dakota as I mentioned in the first post. But if I had noticed a couple of days earlier on our journey back to the Houston area, I might not have taken the beautiful route we took through SE Oklahoma. But we wanted to stay (again) at Beaver's Bend State Park near Broken Bow.
We took I-80 eastward through Nebraska then headed straight south through western Missouri and Arkansas before jumping over in Oklahoma to US-59 and then US-259 through the western Washita Mountains and then the Winding Stair Mountains.
Don't know where you are in Oklahoma (my home state), but perhaps you know that is a beautiful run that is also a bit of a challenging drive/tow with some fun slopes/grades with lots of great views. Similar to the Ozarks with twists and turns, etc. That stretch actually presented the most significant grades for us to pull over our entire trip (according to Flattestroute.com).
But if I had been attentive to that tire wear pattern, I just might have avoided those mountains in that part of Oklahoma!
