Narrative:

I was the captain; and pilot flying on flight to mem. The flight was normal followed by approach to landing in mem. The weather at time of arrival was scattered clouds; light rain; and winds from 130 at 13; gusting 23. The ILS approach to 18C was selected with a landing assessment for flaps 25 and autobrakes 3 used. Airspeed additive was half the steady state plus the gust with an approach speed of ref plus 15. The approach was normal and stabilized approach criteria adhered to with a normal; zero crab; side slip crosswind landing on centerline. Autobrakes 3 with max thrust reverse were used. The landing and deceleration of the aircraft were normal and unremarkable with no direction of control difficulty. We exited the runway and upon block in the brake temperatures were in the 2 range. When the mechanic left the aircraft to do his walk around he returned to inform us that one tire on the right landing gear truck only was 'messed up'. Upon inspection; it appeared the forward inboard tire had a large spot of missing ground down tread and appeared flat spotted. The tire had not blown and there was no damage to the aircraft. The tire was subsequently replaced.
