    That’s very high for a front - around 38 cold is max. Especially on a P tyre.

    I still agree with others your alignment is off or your suspension bushes are failing leading to changes in Toe.

    That is abnormal. I’m running those tyres - look like getting 70,000 km out of them. About half of that towing a 2.5 tonne boat at speed up to 130kph (NT), much of it in hot conditions.

    The lip on 1 side of these sipes indicates that there has been significant cross-scruffing. The lack of wear on the side blocks will be due to the excessively high pressures.

    The thing is, I honestly looked at these tyres just about every single day and I know for a fact the (now bald) tyre looked identical to this one yesterday before starting the drive

    so unless you can see similar issues to this one then something has happened in the course of the drive yesterday but definitely not since the tyre is new

    If the damage has occurred that quickly then maybe the brake on that wheel is dragging badly. Does the disc show any signs of being excessively hot?

    Check that all tyres are 265/60 in case there's a 255/60 amongst them. Also check if that tyre has the same batch number as the one on the other side.

    Is there any rubber 'dust' on the guards behind the tyres? If the tyres are scrubbing heavily this can show up. I'd agree with the others that it appears to be an alignment issue for whatever reason. The scuffing of the tread is consistent with that. I can't see a few psi more or less having any significant impact, so I see that as a furphy.

    Kind of looks like it could have driven through some solvent or spilt fuel at a servo.....did it seem to occurr after refuelling?
