One tire wears faster...

Anyone have a problem with one tire wearing faster than the other three. My front right tire is completely bald on the inside. I can live with that because that's easily fixable. But the tire tread as a whole is worn over 50% more than the other three.

I would like to fix the problem if there is one before I replace the tire. Alos, I'm running Dunlop Sp Sport 5000. I got an alignment done over 6 months ago.

I'd say something is wrong with the alignment on that wheel. Might need a camber kit just to fix that wheel.

A friends TL is like this. He needed a camer kit just on the 1 wheel cause it wouldn't stay aligned. He chewed down 3 tires in 10K miles.

Not what I wanted to hear. The alignment seems fine. I would say that if the tire was wearing unevenly, but they whole tire is wearing faster than the others.

Maybe a worn out ball joint?

Well, I just got my tires rotated. All they said was that I probably needed a camber kit on the front (already have the control arms on the rears). He said the alignment was that bad though, but could be fine tuned.

Maybe no LSD and you've been burning out?
