Last time you've had an alignment? Do you weigh over 300 lbs?

Those look like overinflated tires. What are your alignment numbers?

Alignement was checked and good!,... Tire pressure equal on both tires,..I weigh 165 , so i dont understand why right tire is wearing faster ??

Could it be something about the compound of the tire that is a little different?

With the tire on the right, at some point it was over inflated or your alignment mechanic works for Firestone/Goodyear or PepBoys! (doesn't know his job)

Doesn't really matter that they're evenly inflated, cuz we don't know what kind of roads you drive on. What's the PSI?

You have the limited slip diff, so it is possible that it is worn out. IIRC, they are a viscous coupled unit and will wear out with time/mileage/abuse. 306hp on an essentially open diff could cause that kind of tire wear. That said, it is possible one of the tires was old and hardened compared to the other one.

Use a different tire brand that is better. How many miles do you have on them

Also, for the record, that's too little psi to be running in the car, but it's not the cause since it would tend to wear the inner and outer edges on both tires.[/QUOTE

Yes the limited slip diff, ...I though about that?
...Could it be the Right Slips first before the left locks ?

I put my 32-33PSI when tire is Cold ??

That's what I was getting at; that you could possibly be slipping one tire more than the other.

Sorry about that tire pressure comment, it was my bad. I was thinking of the 19" sport wheel setup which is supposed to be 35psi cold. The correct pressure with your 18" sport wheels is 33 psi cold.

Well Vqsmile,... your guess about the "Worn" Limited Slip Diff seems to be to most probable cause.

If this is correct, that means i'm loosing a lot of traction on Hard Accelerations in summer and even more in winter correct??

Do you think most RWD owners here re-build ther LSD when worn out??
