We just put new tires on the duals and front axle and moved the nearly new front tires to the tag axle. Then drove 1200 miles and the driver's side tire on the tag now shows some abnormal wear in certain areas. Not across the whole tire, just in spots. Almost like it is cupping or something. Inflation is good, did not notice any vibration on the trip, but this is a lot of wear for a relatively short number of miles. I know a tag tire can get scrubbed as you make turns and back into RV sites, but we only backed into one RV park site on the whole trip Anybody have any ideas on what's chewing this tire up?
