I trust Goodyear, but did not trust that tire wear so I upgraded my stuff to 17.5 G114's and never looked back.
What that is is the width of the tread is too wide for the steel belts, so the outer portion of the tread is not as supported as the rest, so it wears faster. It is aggravated by frequent and hard cornering. Nothing to be concerned about except for the appearance. Ultimately it means that Goodyear's design engineers didn't do a great job in the design process.
Yes, They told me not to be concerned with mine....... I still upgraded to make Momma happy ! :-)
Sometimes I don't tell Momma about things.....ha :)
