I'm more concerned that it's just one tire. Maybe do you have a brake hanging up, or is the corner balance all weird (does it handle differently in lh and rh turns?)
Handling is normal. I replaced the rear left a few months ago after a blowout and never got around to replacing the rear right, well, now I am So the rear left has plenty of tread (almost new, probably under 2000km on it, and the rear right will be brand new as of later today. The fronts both have lots of tread left, though that makes sense for a RWD car.

No, it's just that one area. In fact, it looks very much like what I'd expect to see after an emergency stop/skid in a car with no ABS, except that I haven't done that at all.
