Good lord they look they have been on a lathe,
Regardless they are pretty much at the limit by the wear indicators whihc is the abs min, 3mm is better.
How are the tyres on the other side.
Worn bushes may well cause uneven wear but tho the extent you show I would think something more
On first look it appears that something has been fouling the tyre, but when i looked again it looks like the tread part of the tyre has moved away from the wall of the tyre. Faulty tyre perhaps.
What make of tyre is that ?, is it a retread ?
Would be good to know.
Good call on the lowering - that's exactly what it looks like.I'm surprised that a Pilot Sport has got into that condition, without it being apparent that there was something seriously wrong such as a rubbing or other weird road noise. I wonder if the car has stood for a long period without being moved and underinflation has caused the tyre to crack. A weird one that's for sure.
Edit it looks like the outer face of the tyre - then it's more likely to be collapsed suspension, broken spring. lowering or similar and the tyre has been rubbing on the arch. But surely this would have been obvious when driving by the horrible grinding noise.
If the car has been lowered then you would expect same across the axle.Are they the original wheels for the car?
Has it been lowered?
What size tyre is it?
