Default why does one of my front tires wear out faster than the other?

4th gen Si. It seems like 1 side wears out faster than the other. Alignment and tire pressure is ok. Might be the turns but I take lefts and rights equally fast, sometimes lefts a little faster to beat the long left lights. But everything is about equal and I can't figure it out.

Any thoughts?

what are the readings from the alignment?

are the axles ok?

is it really noticable? car in a previous wreck?

no accidents, or burnouts I would think the right side would wear out faster as most of the roads around here naturally incline to the right for drainage.

yep left front tire wears out faster than the other. Strange because like I said all the streets and freeways around my house tilt a decent amount to the right so I expected the right tire to wear out fastest

your front-left wears out faster because of the open diff. if you get an LSD, you won't have that problem.

this is why tire rotation usually goes in an X pattern

Uhhh....last time I checked the diff favored the front right side because the front right axel is shorter than the lef. Maybe im just being retarded, or correct.
