Caporegime
Sonuds to me like a spring has broken and rubbed through the tyre.
Given the OP has had a look and can't see anything obvious, I'd love to know how you come up with this diagnosis!

I've got a rear that loses about 8 psi a week. Given that I only drive it about twice a week, I just pump it up before I drive it.
This thread has given me a kick up the arse, I'll go get it sorted on Monday.
I had the same kind of thing on my front driver side. Had to get out the cig lighter pump every saturday. I eventually just got it replaced, as I knew I would kick myself quite hard if it blew at 70.
It's nicer driving without it always in the back of my mind now.

I had my alignment checked 3 months ago, and everything was adjusted.
Let's hope the new tyres wear better than the old. cos that sure as hell was running too much camber/not enough toe in.
The fact you've "driven" it through the whole tread depth and casing suggests it was quite out!
I had Conti SC5's fitted and what a difference they've made. The steering is much better, everything feels better then then Vreds. I had my alignment checked 3 months ago, and everything was adjusted.
Er tyres wear on the edges due to low inflation pressure, FWD cars run a small amount of toe out anyway as under driving the wheels pull themselves straight. RWD cars generally run toe in at the front.
If only the one edge is worn then you might be right but you cannot tell that from the pics shown.
That tyre looks like classic under inflation failure.
