Is this normal on ST tires?

Hey everyone. I'm new to the RV world. I just picked up my Pinnacle 5th wheel a couple weeks ago. We just got back from Georgia on our first trip and I noticed the tires all had these indentions, multiple on each tire. I never curbed the tires or caused any damage to them. I was just curious as I saw some google results showed this to possibly be normal on high pressure tires...but didn't want to trust google to avoid a blow out 😂. I'm actually getting Goodyear G614s put on tomorrow....but for future reference wanted to know.

Sorry the oicture is upside down...no idea how that happened!

Thanks!

Dimples are normal. Bulges are not.

The indentation is called a Radial Splice. During tire construction, the cords run parallel to each other from bead to bead. Because of their "straight across" radial orientation, the overlaps where the sidewall cords are lap-spliced may cause indentations. Sidewall indentations are a cosmetic condition that does not affect the performance of the tires.
