I could understand it if I was a drift person or a big burnout fan but I do not ever intentionally spin the tires. The diff is open, I wonder whether this is an alignment issue or if a LSD would solve the problem. It is a 3.6L and I do like to accelerate hard once I am out of first gear but I assumed that the PSM would minimize any wheel spin and I cannot hear it or feel it spinning. It feels completely hooked up.

Thoughts?
When I spin the tires the right rear center tread wears the most.

Minimize this by reducing to 33 psi. , rotate rear tires side to side, no need to replace tires in pairs.

PS: PSM first available in 2001
