Any ideas? I can't find any where that would rub that hard

Not to neogen. Dry. And the damage was pretty even around... Although it only tore partially.

Looks like toe-in wear to me, considering how much of that edge is missing compared to the rest of the tire.

Heres a pic of a new tire. If you compare the side of yours thats worn against how much tread is shown on a new tire, youve got it pretty low (seeing how deep your tread is). With it being thin, if you hit a good size bump or pot hole its going to blow out.

The jagged edge of the tear leads me to believe that. A "slash" would have been a much cleaner cut.

Yeah I was starting to think along the same lines simply because there's no corresponding wear on the opposite side. Ive held off on an alignment for a while because the car was decently straight and I knew coils would happen soon. Guess that was a mistake.
