Wear on Right Tires - What do I need to know / request?

[mirocada]

At my 30k service (32,777 miles) the inspection comes back showing low tread on right tires but not left. Visual inspection confirms.

When I go to get new tires:

1) Should I go ahead and replace all 4; and
2) Is there anything else I should be asking about/considering re: the uneven wear?

I believe the right front wheel is the dominate drive wheel. If this is really the case, it would explain the wear if you only rotate front to rear. I do a cross rotation periodically for this reason. Just my theory. Added: if the tires are good for a while yet, I would move them to the left side, otherwise buy two and keep them on the right and hope they qcatch up to the left before replacing them all.

I would say just go ahead and replace all 4 tires and have them check the alignment and have it corrected if out of specs. Going forward, check a check on the air pressure in the tires and have them rotated on a regular basis, around every 5-10K miles. Many tire dealers will rotate the tires at no charge provided you purchased from them.
