Irregular tire wear

I'd pull that tire off and take it back to the tire man. Doesn't appear to be any other wear marks in the tire from spinning on something or a winch or anything dragging on the tire.

I beat the crap out of my tires, spinning on big rocks, drive gravel constantly, lots of power you name it and I've never done that to a tire with that much tread left on it

 

What I said was kind of vague. We had a driver in mud on a jobsite where we set up a crane. He was spinning in the mud and there was a piece of sign post buried in the mud. It ate up a tire pretty good and it looked similar. I guess it could be a bad tire also...

 

By looking closely at the row of lugs that that aren't missing you can see chunks of the lugs starting to break out. Or in the case of the first pic there is one lug beside three missing lugs with a piece missing with no damage on the preceding lug or the remaining lug.
Honestly looking at this one reminds me of recap tires from the 90's. Used to see this a lot back then.

 

Yeah just change the tires, this isnt a simple case of irregular wear or even a winch, if that were the case, it would likely be outside tires getting chunked, but there would be wear marks circumferentially as well. Have the races/end play of bearings checked but in all likelihood its just those tires

Off chance, are those supposed to be directional tires?

 

You just can't catch a break Pav. Always something going on. Hopefully you get to the bottom of this problem, atleast its just one tire not several of them.

 

Worn out shocks are generally a symptom of a problem and not the real problem.
It is possible to get one bad tire. I'm not saying General tires are not good tires but this one looks like the lugs are chipping off.
Even Michelin have some trailer tires that the tread chip out really bad.

 

Was your previous brand Goodyear? With partial wear on the outside rib and random wear on the row of lugs beside it?
