That tyre is totally shot, it's worn down to the inner layers - those white strands.

I have a set of Uniroyal Rain Experts on the way - should be here in a week or 2 and I would really like to get decent miles out of them.
You're going to run this tyre for another 2 weeks ?
Gotta be nuts !

Go to the place where you ordered your new tyres and see if they have a used tyre in your size that you can have dirt cheap (or maybe even free).


Get the TSB checked out that moorecomp pointed out.
This isn't something you're gonna cure with adding more pressure.

If it isn't the problem from the TSB or massive rubbing , it's a very severe camber and / or toe issue.

Seeing how quickly the thickness of the rubber is reduced, I wonder if this misaligned couldn't be spotted with the naked eye with the tyre mounted.
