Left hand rear tyre wears faster ?

[steerage250]

Anyone else find their left hand rear tyre wearing-out much faster than the right?

After 30,000km my right hand tyre (original Pirelli PZero) is still quite legal - but my left hand tyre is definitely not legal any more. I can only put this down to the limited slip diff forcing some wheel spin on the inside wheel when turning left into traffic and accelerating hard to get up to speed. When turning right into traffic, the turning radius is larger so the LSD is not working as hard - and you often pause in the centre of the road and have the wheel much straighter before any hard acceleration.

Both of mine were worn out at 22,500km. I didn't have any accelerated wear on the left side, but your theory sounds reasonable.
