Horrible tread wear never seen this

[Ricootje0311]

Hi everyone,
Has anyone ever seen such badly worn tread pattern?
It’s the stock tires of the JLU sport , Bridgestone Dueler ATs. The car has just over 28800km (17800 miles).
We’ve been on 1-2 mountain trails and we take it often into the desert as we’re living in one here in Dubai. Further it spents about 85% of the time on paved roads. Tire pressure is always set to the recommended pressure. All 4 tires are worn in the same way.

It appears the rubber is falling apart? Definitely not normal wear, I’ve never seen anything like this before.

I’ve never seen this either. The tires are 2019 tires though. So it seems odd that it would just be bad rubber/dry rubber.

Cheap tires, a bad batch of rubber in the tires, or gnarly mountain trails!

Judging by the wear, I’d say take it easy on the pedals. I know how people in Dubai likes to drive lol.

Also you need to actually air down (10-15 psi) when driving on mountain roads. These Duelers “ATs” are essentially street tires.

17800 miles, they should have ben rotated about 3 times by now. Have they ever been rotated?

Those chunks out of the tire don't look like anything rotation would address though

tire chunking is often caused by: tires beyond age limit, aggressive cornering, overheating.

tires have a shelf life / life expectancy. after that, the rubber degrades and the tires should not be used. the tires should have a stamp on the side indicating the production month. see this page:

Don’t need to do rotations there when these tires basically ‘self rotate’ as you drive them.

It’s the heat.

 

[Mikester86]

Well, just F**K the rotations then, LOL!

 

[calemasters]

It’s the heat.

Bingo!

I was also thinking perhaps the heat in combination with the extreme dry air.

Looks like they have been spun in rocks, tire pressure wouldn't matter much, although they may not spin as easily if the pressure is lowered.

I saw that shit happen to Vee Rubber tires when I worked at Harley. One time when a motorcycle was on the Dyno those cheep as tires literally started throwing chunks every where.
