    That's a Bridgestone M726 EL tire. What you're seeing is normal. You need to ROTATE your tires when new between 30-50k. Then, 50-100k to get the max amount of wear. Ryder went 500k on a pair of these on a coast to coast operation. IT can be done. The tire could be out of balance too. Make sure you rotate when you get your alignment and everything else checked. I bet it's from lack of rotation, but don't quote me.

    That's not normal. Tires will roll based on how there components allow them to. Never seen or heard of a tire that wears strange just because. Get the alignment.
