Default Help... Front pass. tire has a lot more wear than any other tire? Why?

Ok, My front pass. tire is signifignatly lower tread than my drivers front, or any of the backs. This is Really strange. I have the eibach pro-kit and nitto 555's for tires. Why would one of my drive tires be signifignatly more worn than my other? I would say pass tire has about 4k life left, while drivers front looks liek it has abotu 10-15k left... very strange.

have you ever rotated your tires? is the pressure low on that side? no,yes, well then with any front wheel drive car the pass. side will always wear first because it has the shorter axle so that side will spin before the driver side.
My advise is dont peelout so much and rotate your tires every 5000 miles and keep the pressure @ 33-38lbs.

Yea mine is the same way. I think its due to the fact that on our cars the passanger side wheel is the one "driven" by the transmission. When you do a burnout for example...the passanger wheel spins while the drIver's doesnt (unless you have LSD).

maybe just maybe it could be a alignment problem causing the premature wear otherwise the guys are right

check ur alignment. a messed up toe will wear out the tires faster. i got mine aligned and the driver side was waaaay out of the toe specified for the car. mine was on the driver side though. peeling out was minimal.
