yeah I honestly have no idea how it could have happened, especially from the factory. surprisingly it caused no issues at all when it was installed, just super ******* weird when I saw it

I really really really hope this is what it is, or at least most of the reason. I would really love to know and understand the technical reason for it though. Like how does a 100% tread tire cause the car to not dart around as much? does the softer rubber absorb some energy when it happens? does a balder tire act like a stiffer wheel?

EDIT: I was able to measure about 2-3mm of remaining tread on the rears and about 4 or 5mm on the front. I don't know what the original tread depth was but I'll assum its a centimeter, so that would technically mean I'm at 20-30% in the rear and 40-50% in the front but not sure if that really makes a difference
