define scalloping, if you will.....
also wondering if the higher pressure will reduce the life-span of the tire?

Scalloping A brand new tire is perfectly round, but when tire pressure is low, sometimes the tire will start wearing funny. You can feel it by running your hand along the length of the tire tread. Tire will no longer have a smooth contour and will be very "bumpy". Usually the front edge of the tire tread will be slighly higher than the rest of the tread. After it gets worse, a small lip may occur on the edges of the tread as the rubber is being peeled off. Time to replace tire.......
