Has anyone else noticed that your right side (passenger, main drive side) tires wear quicker then the left, to just less than the 2/32". put my summer tires on yesterday and the two that were on the left side of the car last year were just inder 9/32, the two that were on the right side were just above 7/32. called the dealer and he said match them by axel as apposed to side, ie two 9s on the front, two 7s on the rear....any thoughts? At the end of the last set of tires it was the same. thanks Kevin

Well many reason could cause this;
Alignment
Worn suspension parts
Driver!

They are right, keep each axle the same so rotate until they are

alignment always kept, suspension in good shape as well, might be the driver though...although I don't push the car, no rolling due to hard cornering, etc.
