I noticed a strange wear pattern on the front tires of my 2008 Berkshire 390BH on a Freightliner raised rail XC chassis. There seems to be a small, concave 'groove' that is wearing on the inside and outside edges. I thought that it might be under-inflation, but according to the charts, I am right at the recommended pressures for the weight on the tires (LF tire is at 97 lbs, weight is 4830, RF tire is at 96 lbs, weight is 4510). Not sure why the tire is wearing this way. Any ideas?
Thanks,

I have attached pictures that I hope will show what I am trying to describe. Tires are Michelins size 255-80x22.5

It appears to be normal wear for long wearing heavy duty tires. I know it hard to ignore because it looks like something is wrong. There is very little that can be done to prevent it.
