Tire wearing issue?
I was just wondering is it possible for a tire to wear differently on one side of the tire from the other if the alignment specs are all within specs?
I ask because my passenger side tire has about 2/32nd of tread on the outside, but on the inside it has about 7/32 of tread. It looks like I have negative camber or toe out, but all my specs are fine.
I am not sure what it is, I am thinking of a worn out suspension part, but not sure. I dont think it is a balance issue cause there really isnt cupping on the tires. Any help would be appreaciated.

First question is do you rotate your tires every 3-5000 miles? On ALL (street driven)cars the right front tire will wear the most. Reason being is when you make right hand turns usually its smaller arc and you are going slower as in turning into a parking lot on the right. But when you say make a left turn at the corner light it usually is a faster larger arc allowing more weight transfer onto the right frt tire. Hence why the right frt tire will always wear more then any other tire assuming proper alignment, rotation etc...........
Best way to battle tire wear on right frt is proper inflation, alignment, and rotations
