Maybe I can shed some light for those that may encounter a similar problem. Tires.

The tire balance was off on the right side rear, not very much but a little. AND…

The right tire was worn more than the left….after thinking about it…I know why.

There is a turn I make everyday, to the right in second gear. I come off that turn very hard, and, although it is not burning out, I am on the edge of traction! In other words, not pealing out but USING the tire just before it breaks free, sometimes several times a day!

Mystery solved.

Fortunately, my Kumhos have a 40,000 mile thread wear guarantee, and I have about 15K on them. Yippie! Gotta love those mileage warrantees! I KNOW someone is going to spam me about using THOSE tires on our car! But hey, they are cheap, pretty good (not for racing), and once they are heated, they run consistently and don't SNAP when they DO break free!
