So i bought my tires at a goodyear center and they rotate/balance free for the life of the tires. Had this done today and noticed that the rear passenger side wears SO much worse than the rear driver's side. Fortunately I have non-directional tires, so i could swap the rear tires.

The wear makes sense given that the car doesn't have an LSD so the rear passenger side is basically the "one wheel drive" of the car. How often do you guys have your tires rotated? Im thinking about having my rear tires swapped every 5K miles to increase the life and even the wear.

Hmm, is your alignment in check? I got 3k miles on very even wear out of the crappy Pirellis (that is until I did a bunch of "donuts" then I wore out the one side a little bit more, but not much). Maybe the simulated limited slip works better on the new cars?

Never, gotta love staggered + directional tires....

Mine wears out that tire also. Heavy foot around right turns maybe? I've been trying to drive like a baby to see how much longer the tires last. We shall see...

Because the right rear (passenger side) is the one that spins since we do not have a mechanical lsd.

Right. no LSD in the 32 means more wear on the drive wheel.

Which is the drive wheel? Both of mine leave rubber on the road.

Camber in the road places more weight on the ride side for LHD cars. Tires and brakes always wear more on the right.

typically RWD is right rear and fwd is front left.
