i see this everyday, you most likely have a nail in the tyre, and it slowly went down as you were driving, which then will destroy the side wall from the weight of the vehicle on it as well, its hard to tell a flat tyre with such a low profile, but unfortuntely your not the first one for this to happen to

My VP has IRS to and had 19's with Potenzas and found the scrubbed aswell. The Potenza is a very square tyre if you get what i mean so i swapped them for a Nangkang tyre in a 235 style tyre and that stopped it. The tyre you have is to wide for a VP IRS setup so try a 235 or maybe a 225 style and fit a camber kit as they are a terrible setup in VP VQ's.

If it has been scrubbing, then i would suggest looking into a camber kit. Biggest issue with big wheels on IRS i huge negative camber that scubs out on the wheel arch.
