Humm... Mine wear more on the primary side? I don't know what tires you're running but if there Dunlups try a Metz or Avon... My first set of Dunlups wore fast and one side more then the other kinda normal if you ask around... but the Metz lasted longer and better grip even on wet ground.

BTW DB that helps... lol

If you are in part of the world that drives on the right hand side of the road then right turns are sharper then left. So you would most likely wear more rubber on right handed turns then left.
