Just found this thread. Not sure if connected but I had an issue with both front tyres worn through to the threads on the inner side wall just below the corner. Caused a sudden deflation as the wear wasn't visible looking at the tread. I replaced both fronts and had full 4 wheel tracking but a year later had the same issue again with a sudden deflation. The car drives normally and tracks straight hands off. I have read that the square speed humps can wear inner shoulders if you straddle them, which is tempting in the 8 asyou can almost get a wheel either side but given how tiny a fraction bumps represent of mileage is this possible?
I have fitted 18 inch rims replacing 19 originally fitted to the car, could this have anything to do with it?
