Flat Spots on Tires
Hi folks. We have a 2021 Solitude 346FLS with the upgraded axels, electric over hydraulic brakes and the Cooper 17.5 H rated Work Series. Noticed the leading 2 tires had notable flat spots showing up. You can see the tread pattern worn and flat spot is noticeable without measuring. Replaced one of the tires and had flat spots show up within 400 miles. It looks like the result of brakes locking up briefly but I have never noticed any specific incident where that happened. Only showing up on the 2 leading tires so far. Any thoughts? Greatly appreciated. Dave C

Tires wear evenly. Your problem is the wheels are locked or the balance is severely out.
If it is indeed flat, I suspect brakes. If it is one tire, you may have a problem with that brake. If it is all of them, I would check the settings of your controller.

Is the trailer level with the truck attached? Nose high could unload the front tires some, and that could result in skidding at times. Just a thought.

Trailer is level to the truck when towing.

One thought, maybe in the distribution valve there is some dirt that is partially blocking the two rear brakes causing the front to do most of the braking? Not sure if it is possible. I would do a good flush and see what happens.
