Re: non-uniform tire wear

[Elliott Potter <epotter@abraxis.com>]

What about the back tires, are they about the same?  Have you tried
rotating the tires?  If so, did the tire that moved to the right front
axle wear faster than the rest again?
Also maybe check the date codes on the tires; could the one that's
wearing faster be from a different batch?
