Default Rear Tire Wear Uneven

So I have M/T Drag Radials on the car and i noticed the driver side is considerably more worn that the passenger side. The car is aligned so what could be the cause of this?

Worn more how?? Like just one edge of the tire or is it worn evenly just more than the other side. If it is worn evenly just more from drivers side to pass side them maybe your posi unit is going out and you are spinning 1 tire.

just means you have been spinning one tire more around turns it's doing what it's suppose to just one side is over powering alittle.

the left rear tire is planted down when torque is applied to the rear axle, a drag bar helps this as well as suspension tuning.

well if you roast them 24/7, drive alot they will go pretty fast, there not a tire that last a long time

my nittos have lasted 3 times longer than my mts, mts are a way better drag tire , but i drive my car way to much i needed a tire that last a lil longer

I usually run about 1/2 # less in pass side rear tire due to my weight on drivers side while at the track and that seemed to help alot.
