The treads appear to be about 50% worn which I would guess is some where in the normal wear pattern. I believe my problem has been solved with the installation of the newer style fender wells. My dealer, M's RV in Berlin, VT, was very persistent with the factory in getting this problem resolved
I now have completed 20,000 miles on my 3rd set of tires. The drivers side tire on the trailer started to show wear on the inside at about 12,000 miles. It looks like some sort of rubbing damage. At 20,000 I installed a pair of C205R-14 Kumho Radial 857 D rated tires. These are rated at 2271 lbs each. The original tires are rated at 1760 lbs.
