Is the right rear tire more wore than the left on your car? Is that because the right is the powering wheel?
 
No, the power goes through the Limited slip differential to both rear wheels. The right tires would wear more under this conditions: You drive on counter clockwise racetracks, you have different tires left/right, your alignment (camber, toe) is more aggressive (or way off) at the right side, you have wrong tire pressures or you do counter clockwise donuts all the time :wink:

No. On my NSX, both rear tires wear at the same rate. And I have never heard of anyone else experiencing more rapid wear on the right rear tire than on the left.

Check the air pressure in the tires. If that's okay, you might try getting the car's alignment checked...
 
Alignment was checked last time I had a state inspection. They had to correct the front ones. I will check the numbers again for the back ones.
