How many miles, when were they rotated, and what pressure are you running?

Rotated every oil change and running at 34 PSI

Around 10k km

Around 10k km

You’re going too long between rotations. Don’t go more than 8k km. You might need to rotate every 6.5k km for softer rubber tires. I had to rotate every 6.5k on my jeep because of the tire compound.

Keep in mind that there is very little weight on the rear tires, compared to a car, so your rotation habits needs to be adjusted for that.

if you are talking about a scalloped pattern, it is hard to see from the picture, and one wheel, sounds like suspension issues. Maybe the shock is bad.

If it was a rotation issue, you might see more wear front versus back but not on just one tire.

i just rotated my tires at 5000 miles and thst looks like a perfect interval

ive seen more front back uneven wear on front wheel drive cars than the light trucks I’ve driven for 40:years.

Good to know, i have an appointment this week for my oil change and tire rotation, i will ask them to look at my suspension if theres something wrong with it
