Aside from having positive camber on a tire, I can't think fo anything that would cause only the outside to wear faster than the rest of the tire.

Anyone know if it is just the compound of the stock tires? These days there might be different materials on different ribs of the tire... If this is just my driving habits (which is not aggressive), I'm ok with that (kind of) but if there is something I'm not thinking of, I'm all ears.
Yeah, I was just speaking to j.arnaldo's comment.

I'll have to check mine when I go outside, but I vaguely remember the numbers on mine being a little weird also. It wasn't really enough to worry about when I checked it. Kind of attributed it to a heavy right foot.

Have you actually used a depth gauge or are you just eye-balling it?
