Tire wear to the point of replacement @ 21k miles.
Driving south on ih-35 in san marcos, texas, a blowout occured in right rear tire. Driving conditions were dry and sunny. The tire is a toyo a20, size p205/55r16 89h. The inner tire wall seperated completely from the rest of the tire. Driver did not lose control and was able to pull over. These tires were original equipment on vehicle when purchased from dealer in 2011.
Tires cupping and wearing quickly on inside of both tires in the same manner. Research and discussion with mechanics indicate the issue is likely due to camber. Camber is within manufacturer specifications, but causes extremely rapid tire wear.
