To a certain extent that could be true, but to wear evenly on all of them seems a stretch to me.
The way I see it, you turn right as much as you turn left: even wear.
This ain't a NASCAR track Dick, it is the highway and gas stations, RV parks strip clubs, all with different driveways.. did I say strip clubs.. stike that..:0
One of the reasons for this type of wear in Lonnie's book of wear patterns was mountain driving, what does mountain driving have in common with the wear? highway speed turns and curvy roads.
You can't change the laws of Physics, there has to be some action that causes friction enough to peel off rubber from the inside and outside of the tires alike: Turns and tire flexing. Goodyear tires have a (probably) closely guarded rubber mix formula, that rubber mix and the side of the tire design just lends itself to this problem. As evidenced by the number of responses to this and the other similar threads.
I'm jus sayin'
I am but a humble fix-it-man that does good finding my way home when I'm out.
