I thought the same thing about the dry rot, but it's only this tire and the others are perfectly fine. Installed in Dec 2014 with less than 20k miles. I was originally thinking maybe a warranty replacement but I doubt they will cover with all the toe damage.

Turns out I was wrong twice...The grease covering the ball joint was from the CV joint leaking out a tiny hole barely noticeable. So wasted money on the new thrust arm and 2 day shipping to Hawaii I ordered a new boot set and going to pickup a new spindle nut today. I've spent 34hrs over 5 days working on this car...so done with it. After some internet research I used "Permatex The Right Stuff" to seal the small hole until I get the new boot and install.

So the shredding was simply the toe. Figured out the measurements and toe was way off. I got it fairly close and finally getting alignment tomorrow.

Only thing keeping me happy is that I finally got my new Vorsteiner diffuser for my M installed!
