Any ideas on what this is or caused it? It is on all 4 tires, pressure is good, we did not rub up against anything, RV Dealer, Winnebago help line had never seen this and has no idea. One tire shop said tires are failing and not right tire for trailer another said opposite, have not heard back from tire manufacture. Not sure what to do any ideas?

You didn't identify if they are P235/75R15 or ST235/75R15 or LT23575R15. Properly identifying the tires is important.
Next they are "raised white letter" which makes me suspect they are not ST type. What does your Certification Label show?
The white "fading" appears to be a leaching of the chemicals that allow some rubber to be white.
Wondering if other Winnie trailers come with white letter tires. WIth more info I may be able to offer more info.
