Spot on tire?

Looks like camber or toe wear. More info needed. Front or rear? Is the car lowered? Are the other tires worn on the inside edge like that too? (assuming its the inside) Are all the ball joints and tie rods tight with no worn parts? How may miles are on the tires?
Either way its about to blow out. Needs to be replaced.

Two possibilities:
1) locked up the brakes, tricky since the RX-8 has antilock brakes.
2) Softer rubber in that region of the tire (manufacturing defect).
paimon.soror: how do you know those tires don't have 50,000 miles on them?

it may be "normal" wear but if i were you i would get a caster kit and get it fixed. people say the bold spot is normal? yes the rx8 has antilock brakes but it is still possible to lock up a tire for a second before it kicks in ask anyone that runs their car at a track hard. and with the little tread you have left i would bet thats what happened

He is saying that the inner tire wear is normal for him based on his previous 4 sets of tires. Not the spot that is worn down to the cords.

It's worn past out
If that is inner rear tire wear at stock Camber settings you might want to re-check the toe in ![Frown](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/frown.gif)
There is always a spot that is a bit thinner than the rest of the tire and it cords first....then the wear increases very quickly around the exposed cords...
Those tires were worn out months ago

Mr. Örange
Factory camber spec is a large range. I had my car aligned at a dealership to "factory spec" and my rear left camber was -1.8 and rear right was -1.1
