    Noticed a problem with one of my winter tires when I took them off earlier this weekend. They are Bridgestone Blizzak DMZ3 The wear is really uneven, as if if was over inflated, but it definetely isn't. Pressure is at 30psi, well in range with the other 3, and I did check all 4 tires with 2 different gages just to be sure. It happened on the passenger rear side. I've put around 10,000km on that set this winter and they're about 3 years old. Dunno if you can notice it on the pictures, but you can see the tire kinda caving in at the center as well.... Is it a bad tire or there's something else I should check?

    Wow looks bad. You sure they weren’t overinflated causing balding down the center?

    Any recalls out?

    I had a few sets of Blizzaks including my current DMV2s on the truck and haven’t had any issues like this. Interested to see what others have to say.

    Just noticed you said is was only one of the four tires...guessing its the passenger rear? that's the one that spins every time you pull out of a parking lot going right. On my set, both rears look like this, but the passenger side is worse than the drivers
