So recently I had to take my car to get a new driver's side rear tire due to it being stabbed. The guy checked the wear on my other tires just because and told me that the passenger side front and rear were 3/32's and 4/32's respectively. The drivers front was 6/32's and the rear was not measure for some reason because they just replaced it. I have 19,500 miles.
Why could this wear pattern be happening? Could the drivers front just be wearing less or there be a possible suspension problem?

fat passengers?

Tire pressure not even?

That would be my first guess. Or you take a lot of left hand turns quickly and on a very regular basis? I know I regularily attack the freeway onramp on my way to work with spirited driving, but it has a nice left/right to it.

haha Im 165 and I don't have any passengers bigger than me. It may be the left turns though because they are just easier to take compared to a 90 degree right turn. Ill check the tire pressures too.

Thanks for the help everyone!

Also, if the tead wear is uneven across one or more of the tires, it might be time for an alignment.

How often should the wheel alignment be done on the car?
BMW dealership says every 10,000km.

I found my rears wears faster than the front.

I check my tire pressure at least once a month or twice if I have the extra time.

I would check your tire pressure and alignment.
