Default Tire Wear

I have about 40,000 miles on a set of BFGs they have been rotated every oil change but only from to back I think. It seems that the passenger side tires are wearing faster than the drivers side. The drivers side looks like I can get over 10,000 more miles passenger side maybe 3-5,000 more. Could something be just a touch out of alinement?

But it's not causing uneven wear on the tires just the passenger side it wearing faster.

if it's just front to back, maybe the passenger rear tire is the power tire. by this i mean, if your heavy on the throttle, then it's the passenger tire doing the spinning seeing as we have open differentials.

I don't drive it easy so I'll probably rotate the tires to the other sides then maybe that will help even them out.

owners manual shows the correct procedure for rotating tires. rear tires move forward and fronts go to opposite side in rear. some tires are directional, those move front to rear if same size. My Mustang GT are directional but rear are wider with both being 18s.
