Having a tire pressure monitor system is important, however; a visual inspection is the only way to find this type problem. Pressure was normal and temperature never rose more than 5* over ambient.

Wow, glad you were able to find the damage before it caused you bigger problems. How old were those tires?

Tire in question dated 3513 ... less than four years old.

I see that the Towmax is much cheaper than equivalent Goodyears. Is this a case of "sometimes it just happens", or "you get what you pay for"? I paid a premium for Goodyear Endurance tires. I hope I'll get good service out of them, but I understand these things sometimes "just happen".

Why the odd wear pattern? Is something wrong with your axle, or is the tire scraping something?
