But for some reason, I just have this gut suspicion that the tech was trying to say 'oh, this is a natural thing when you have tires that have asymmetrical tread patterns'. Because think about it -- if he says it's due to uneven tire wear, that opens up a whole new can of worms for him that he probably wants to avoid.

no, i do not have sport package on my ride. regular 18" tires.

Do the tires have an asymmetrical tread pattern? (Quick way to tell is if they have the word "Outside" printed on the sidewall, because that means only one side can face outside, which means the tread on the outside is not the same on the inside, which is a longer way of saying asymmetrical.)
