Default Michelin A/S zero pressure unusual wear?

At less than 12K..............

This is my second set of Michelin A/S ZP's on the rear and the right rear has the center 3" worn almost completely blad?
The left side has better than 80% of the thread left and is worn evenly.

Tires pressures have always been the same pressure, going off my tire pressure sensors and my hand gauge. The rim is straight and true, and stock C5 sizes on stock rims, of course the tire needing re-balancing with all that rubber gone.
The outside of both tires are worn the same, heck I didn't even notice until I took the tires of this weekend installing new brakes.

I haven't abused them. Hell I got 40K out of my last set of rears and the fronts have over 55K!
Has anyone heard of a problem?
My tire shop called Michelin and they are willing to give me 50% off a set for the rears but I think something is wrong with that tire.
Any ideas?
