btw, notice in the above photo that the chunking tends to occur on the outside shoulder of the tire AND on the center rib.

the outside shoulder abuse we would expect, but the center rib? this is actually expected. the reason is that excess pressure rounds the tread surface (like a donut), causing excessive wear at the center of the tread.
