I have attached a picture of one of the tires all three looked like this. I initially thought that I had an alignment issue or bent axle not so.
They are just less than 4 years old and probably around 5,000 miles.

Sorry to hear about your problem. Have you sent a complaint to NHTSA? If people do not file complaints, there will never be investigations and if no investigations there is no threat of recall which is an incentive for tire companies to improve their tires. Be sure to get pictures of each tire. You can file a complaint for each tire too. You will need the FULL DOT serial from the tires and VIN of the RV
