I don't believe any manufacturers balances ST tires.  ST tires cannot be compared to automotive tires - see the link in prior posts, or google the topic.

Thanks for the information Dan!  Do you recommend I balance the radial tires when I switch them out, and what affect does balancing have on trailer tires, will it change the wear or prolong the life?
Thanks so much...

If you want to check your alignment you can look at http://www.centrevilletrailer.com/how-to/trailer-axle-alignment-trailer-tire-wear/.  You could also have a bent or damaged rim or your tires could be out of balance.  If you have never had the tires balanced, that is the place to start as trailers are notorious for having out of balance tires from the factory.

Thanks for the alignment link...
I don't see any weights on the inside or outside of the rims so I guess no balancing.
I think I will look more into the alignment and probably replace all 4 with the Hartland Radials sold at Discount Tires.  From internet reviews, looks like the OEM Vail Bias Ply tires are junk...Don't need them coming apart on me on the next trip!!

I just logged in to report the same thing...
I have a 2014 16DBS that I purchased new in 2015 and has less than 5000 miles.  It has tandem axels and only the right rear tire is wearing differently - to the rear bars on the outside. 
They are are OEM Vail Tires - ST 175/80D/13.
Is this potentially an alignment issue on the rear axel???  Can this be fixed?  We no longer have dealer in the hood.  Nearest one is now 350 miles.
Thanks...
