Crazy uneven tire wear one 1 rear tire. How does this happen?

I noticed yesterday that my driver side rear tire is crazy bald and wearing on the inside and the passenger side rear is not. What gives?

Full story: I absolutely knew that my rear tires were on the end of their life so naturally I decided to have a little burn out fun before I go get new tires. I suppose that I would not expect one tire to wear like this but then again I was doing donuts. Do you all think this is a result of burnouts or should I have something to worry about?

I have had regular dealer alignments, I dont drive the car often, and have always noticed that they wear evenly before now.

You were only spinning your left side tire most of the time during your fun

How about rotating the tires once in a while.

Thats great tire wear. You're either spinning one much harder, different brand tires or a defective tire. Usually it's the Right rear that spins way more than the left.

Not possible due to rotation directions. If you theoreticly had the same tire size front and rear you could change from rear to front, but not possible on C63

Sure it’s possible those tires look like PSS’s and are not bound by rotation direction so they can be rotated left to right and vise versa on the same axle.

It is the same with the 4S they don’t have rotation direction.
Look at the tires it states “Outside” on them and can also be rotated on the same axle.

You are absolutely right. I could have sworn that I have seen a direction arrow but must have confused it with my sons Yokohama tires

New Possibility:
W205 C63 non-S complete rear differential.
It's a locking unit, fits directly, apparently locking was standard and comes with the cooling fins.

This came up in the facebook forum and there somebody installed it and confirmed it fits.

Obviously, some research to confirm all the above is still needed, but hey, we have the W205 form here ...
