So I ran the tires for 6000 miles and went to rotate them across and discovered massive bald spots forming around the tire not like its out of alinement but as if a pot hole or uneven road had damaged them. I grew up around the tire business and have never saw a tire do this but then again low profile tires where a ways off in the future when i was working in the shop. Do any of you have this occurring with your rubbers or might it just be the Xeons?
