And something else to take from this, check your tires all the time. While I guess it's possible all that wear happened on that one drive if something failed in your front end, but I would suspect it was wearing like that for the entire 11,000 miles. I'm a pilot myself so a tire check by nature is part of my routine checks. I'm always running my hand across the front tires looking for feathering and uneven wear. Should be part of your daily checks.
no, you're right. I've been somewhat lax in doing that. we've had very few tire problems over the years (started the RV thing back in 1986) that I just grew complacent. visual inspection/inflation check of tires is now on the departure checklist.
