Also bear in mind that in this heat and with constant running those tyres will be getting pretty hot.
As a consequence, as hot air expands, the pressures will go up.As an example.
My track car runs at 28psi HOT.
Cold they can be as low as 15psi.I know its not the same application, but you get the drift.
Track car…drift… good one

Not a drift car, it a bloody Ford Puma[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
Yes eventually you seem to get uneven wear on the fronts, I’ve got up to about 170,000 kms and found the outside edges wearing off. Had the tracking checked and all okay.

It sounds great when you’re flat to the boards around Thruxton, and you’re cornering do fast your brains are falling out your left nostril [emoji16][emoji16]

Had that very same problem last the week on a volvo FH4 16 plate.
Reported to the garage and luckily the tyre fitters were on site so we asked them. Their reply was that it was down too harsh braking.
I suspect a wee fib there.
Guessing rather than knowing, but I’d suspect a dodgy tyre? Or batch. Is the same compound used across the width of the tread? Or different mixes on centre and shoulders?
Get a rival manufacturer to examine them before the original suppliers? May get less liklihood of “harsh braking” type answers. Or is that mere cynicism?

It doesn’t matter who you ask, nobody will accept any blame, they’ll all try to sell you something to prevent it happening again though lol. The harsh reality is that it’s just worn out, a mate of mine has just had to throw a new pair of steer tyres on a lorry he’s trading in next month, the old ones went out of round and were shaking the lorry to pieces at anything faster than 50mph, there was nothing structurally wrong with them, they were just knackered from all the punishment they’d suffered from the act of rolling down the road.

If those are Bridgestone R227 pattern then we had them on a 7.5t, in 17.5" and an urban artic, in 19.5", and both wore out exactly as your pictures. The 19.5" replacements, Double Coin because that’s all we could afford, have worn evenly straight across. The opposite side of the 7.5 tonner axle has a Michelin on it and that has worn evenly too, will outlast the Bridgestone by miles. We do a very low mileage and tyres usually get replaced because they are old and the sidewalls show signs of cracking before the tread wears out 
Have still got the one on the 7.5tonner so will get a photo. Seems to me that tyre’s pattern / compound does not suit some applications, like ours

It does appear that Bridgestones do not seem to be of the same quality of a few years back Michelins are 100 euro more in Ireland but it may look like money worth spending
You get what you pay for, Michelin are more expensive up front for good reason, they’re a better product and over the life of the tyre, they work out cheaper because of this.
I often hear people say that they can’t afford Michelin, but in my mind, I can’t afford not to buy them, especially their Energy range as the fuel savings from their low rolling resistance more than pay for the tyres over their lifetime.
I’m all for saving money, but with tyres, you need to speculate to accumulate. Unless you’re in an operation like hailung scrap metal or off road a lot and constantly damaging tyres, cheap tyres may save you a few quid up front, but cost you money every time they turn and they turn a lot of times over a hundred thousand miles.
My preference is for Michelin, but there are some good tyres in the Bridgestone Ecopia range and some of the Continentals and Yokohama are pretty good too, none of them are cheap, but like I said, you get what you pay for.

We have Bridgestone tyre contract at work and got a Bulletin the other day.
Picture of a steer tyre 275/70/22.5 and all the central tread had been lost.
Looked like a remould that had thrown its skin.
Bridgestone said that it was a bad batch of tyres.
Are yours branded or no number?
Might be worth giving them a call.

Thanks for that will get the boss to look into it

My wagon (that I share) 44k on the clock has already worn through two tag axle Bridgestone tyres, I left it for 12 days and the tyres where okay and came back they where bald and one was feathered as of it was about to delamininate.
It’s on tanker work with frequent farm use, I’ve noticed the front steers are getting low too.
Ive never had issues like this on any other wagon, the last five years where I used to work we used conti tyres and had very few issues.
