Light colored ring on tire sidewall
I now have just shy of one thousand miles on 4 new BF Goodrich Comercial T/A tires on my fiver rv. I have not done anything to these tires other than keeping them inflated to a cold pressure of 80psi and covering them when not in use. I have not washed them, driven in rain, applied any dressings, or otherwise. Editorial Comment: You're wise to have this inspected by a dealer you know and trust. From a photo only it's difficult to make an accurate diagnosis. In spite of what you've said, I'm inclined to suspect that this ring may have been produced by something rubbing against the tire. I've seen a car where a plastic guard piece on the wheel well was damaged and rubbed against the sidewall until it was worn down too but leaving a distinct impression on the tire sidewall. In your case, it might have been a branch or some other object that somehow became lodged in a position that caused it to rub against the sidewall and later fell or was broken off. When you have your dealer look at it, you may want to see if there is a similar marking on the interior side wall in about the same position. If you see this, it would be vital to unmount the tire and see if there is any evidence of internal tire damage. Let us know what the dealer concludes. TG
