It's where the tire is worn unevenly, usually on the inside or outside edge, in a scalloped pattern. The usual cause is a badly out of balance tire -- balance problem causes tire to bounce up and down resulting in this distinctive wear pattern.

Usually there are some problems with a new body style that have to be addressed. This may or may not be related.
