Very odd. But it looks like its wearing twice as fast. :eek:
 
It's worn perfectly across the tire - but I'll have it checked out when I take it in for a few service items.
 
Are you making more right hand turns? Do a few laps in the other direction and the four tires will match. :biggrin:

For some reason I thought the camber and toe were the same thing. :confused:
Alignment usually consists of camber, caster, and toe, which are three different things. These items are described and pictured (very well) on Tire Rack's website here. Here are the illustrations from that web page:

Oh yeah, if the toe is off, the tire would be fighting the pavement extra hard. Hmm :biggrin:

I kind of leaning to this thought, as people tends to turn more right hand turns and more aggresively... ie, those turns that was going from main street to small residential... Most of the Freeway entrance exit also consists of right turns.....

To me, the caster just looks like the wheel rotating during normal driving. I understand toe and camber, but can you elaborate on caster for me?

Click on the link in my post. It gives a detailed explanation of what caster is and how it affects the suspension geometry.
