Default Driver Side Wear vs Pass. Side Wear

Okay was under the '03 Z06 checking last weekends work when I noticed my stock Super Car Tires are wearing at differerent rates (inflation is the same on both). Driver side is down to 0.0705 inches above the wear indicator bars, while the passenger side is 0.1471 inches..! This is at 11K miles.

What gives? Is this normal? Or do I have a rear end problem?

I would think that a 4 wheel alignment is in order. I can see different rates of wear between front and rear, but side to side should be pretty much the same.

i find that i wear the pass. side (both front and rear although more in the rear) kind of like your saying. after noticing this i paid more attention to how i drove and pretty much found out that even when im not thinking about it or paying attention i corner a lot harder on left turns and im a lot more comfortable going into a left harder when driving faster. im not sure if that is the reason i wear the pass. side faster or not because the last time i put new tires on and got a new alignment it was not that far off. maybe you go into right turns harder?:confused:
