    Those tires have had more than enough, combined with the cupping that says supension or alignment issues making it worse. Replace them. And fix the original problem in the structure.

    Ah ok. I had a break chamber issue on the axle right behind those tires until then those tires had been fine and it just started after that incident.

    You guys think it could have anything to do with that ?

    If it's on the inside or outside of a steer Tire it could be the alignment on the front axle or only on the rear axles or it could be a bad shock. It could also be parts such as tie rod or kingpins if it's on the trailer and on the inside it's usually a bad shock. A reputable shop that does triple Axl alignments will be able to tell you

    I would have the shocks checked and make sure your leveler is working correctly for your airbags

    That may be a possibility but I would go with shocks or air bag leveler on a trailer but like I said have somebody reputable check it I've seen stranger things cause tire wear
