Question Uneven tire wear

I was changing from my stock wheels to my g-games and noticed that my right rear was substantially worn down more than my left rear tire. I have the base model so I dont have an lsd but how could one tire get worn down so badly. Does the differential in the base favor a side? I havent done any left circle doughnuts or anything out of the usual aggressive driving. Any ideas?

do you have a base cause if you do it cause your only spinning on one side "lsd" just my guess.

Some 350Z drivers are under the impression that NO LSD spins one wheel while the other just sits there. That's not true. Lift the rear of the car and turn on the engine. Both wheels spin. In fact, grab one tire and try to keep it from spinning: you can not. With that in mind, I haven't the faintest idea why one tire is worn.
