Default Right tire worn out while left looks new

I have a 2015 F type v6s. I don't consider my driving style anything crazy, but I took a look under my car the other day and noticed that the outside of the right tire is basically bald while the left looks basically new. I'm pretty sure the S has a locking diff so I don't think this is from burnouts. I also checked the tire pressure and it was dead on. Thoughts?

I have the same issue although my right tire is in significantly worse condition than yours.

Have some Michelin PS4's on order and will be going in for a full alignment check after. Would suggest you go get an alignment done ASAP.

V6S does indeed have a mechanical limited-slip diff (LSD).

Take it to the dealer. This is a warranty item.

I don't think that alignment being out of spec and subsequent uneven tire wear on a 3+ year old car is a warranty item.

+1... Dealer quoted me $600 for the alignment on a 2 year old car with 9800 miles. I took my car to a local shop I trust and they charged me $89.00 for laser 4-Wheel alignment.

Alignment issues is a big hit for every car company. Its one of my company's biggest chassis related issue on some models. Every car is a little different and some aren't adjusted properly. Given the severity of the issue I would try a dealer visit; if you burned through a single tire in 5-8k miles and the rest look new, that is a warranty issue.

Hey, send me your alignment specs. I have the stock Conti's and would love to burn them off so I can get my Michelin's!!

I had the same issue. Got an alignment found one front wheel had too much toe. That was fixed and new shoes installed on all 4 corners. Now even wear.

I had the same issue - bad alignment front and rear, along with right-rear tire wear on the inside edge. Park Place Jaguar TX flat out REFUSED any sort of warranty support, and refused to even inspect the alignment without payment - despite my complaints about poor handling and tire wear.

I had it aligned, and installed PS4s - all good.

The Jaguar warranty for "wear and service adjustments" is one year or 12,500 miles. Alignments are service adjustments so I would be VERY surprised if Jaguar touched this under warranty.
