I've never heard this before. Does this make sense?

Kras,
I believe the dealer is correct to some degree. Boxster's do not have a LSD ( Limited Slip Differential ) so most of the torque would go to the wheel with the least traction I would think. I didn't know that on a Boxster the right side was considered the "drive" wheel with the other side getting whatever is left over. If this is true, whether or not this would cause one tire to wear quicker than the other, I have no idea...
I am not 100% sure of this, though. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, I would like to know this as well...
Thanks,
Nick
