First groove out isn't worn any more than the rest of them. Right front shows a little wear, but nothing like the left. Doesn't pull, alignment specs are all within Ford specs. Doesn't appear to be excessive negative camber, not toe'd out, not run low on air. Any ideas? Just my wife's driving? Thanks for any insight.

Since I rotated my tires regularly, all 4 had worn on the inside, but the DR was the worst. 1999 Contour SVT #1966/2760, Silver Frost/Midnight Blue Koni Kit, Mille Miglia MM-S rims, B&M shifter, Stazi mesh, SFCs, optimized Y-pipe & TB, SS break lines, K&N drop-in, Infinity Kappa speakers, MTX amp/sub
