Stopped at a rest stop today and doing my walk around inspection, I noticed unusual tire wear on two of my Goodyear G114 Tires.
Anybody got any ideas what is going on?

two things come to mind , tire balance and possible a broken belt in the tire. Does your camper have shocks? Tire balance with out shocks or weak shocks can cause tread wear like what you have. I would suggest you stop by a heavy truck Goodyear dealer and have them look at it. If your close to your destination or parked for a while pull it off and take it to a tire center for balancing and inspection.
