Default Front tire wear

Hey all...was worried all to hell about some uneven tire wear on my pp2ct front tire...after some looking on line and a closer look at my tire...all is well. From what I've read the tire will wear different, at places, depending on the nature of the tread pattern...kinda' roll off the edge of grooves and dig in after. Kind of makes sense looking at my tire with 6k miles on it....On one hand its like"there's so much tread left"...on the other hand" center wear marks are 1/32" from showing wear".

I guess the better the tire is in the rain the worst this cupping is...What are your thoughts?

What 2ct are you talking about? PP can mean pilot power or pilot pure. My powers worn un-even because the rain grooves go threw the middle of the tire. My pilot pures don't because the center of the tire is solid but they do stress crack in this area as Im a very hard braker.

I know what you mean, the tread starts to get the "saw tooth" look when the tire is almost toast. It can look like cupping but it's just normal wear.
