    Not without better pics than that unfortunately. Is it doing anything weird? Pulling to one side?

    Looks like it was worn by one of those misaligned rear axles found on early production.

    Does this mean that tire was never on the rear axle? Forgive me, I'm not quite clear on your response.

    Have you ever had the wheel alignment checked?

    This is very odd to me.
    The tread is NOT evenly wear on the outer edge?
    I have moved it to the pass rear since that tire was much better than the front one.

    See pics

    Never had it on the rear until I moved it a day ago.
    I have will have the alignment checked.
    See my next post. I add more pics and the wear is uneven for the outer edge.
