I did some research. old tires, lots of low speed turning, a LOT of weight on front end, and a wide tread patch(more resistance in turns) with a moderate sidewall(some flexing) are likely contributing. And sitting rather than getting used
Don’t forget, no idea how it was used before you got it. I’m presuming your plow truck hasn’t seen enough miles to put appreciable tread wear on a new tire in the last 4 years.

Bottom line schitt happens. They’re tires. I even had one slip a belt on my truck, on the front couple years ago. Felt like alignment was off a bit. Swapped to rear, forgot about it and rotated back to the front last year and it was fine.
Talk about mysteries.
