Hi guys,

I noticed some unusual wear on the front left tyre. All other tyres seem fine. I have some comparison photos to show. FYI, the car is stock (running stock 17 inch tyres). I've had the car for 4 months now and its done about 7000 km, it's never been taken to the track.

If you look carefully, the pattern on the edge of the sidewall has been worn off.

Any ideas on what the issue could be? Could this just be an alignment issue? What should I be expecting when I bring the car into the dealership? I'm planning to do this soon, but wanted to have info before going in, in case they try to downplay this.

Thanks, everyrone!

Rear Left Tyre (for comparison, all the others look like this):
