MI Tire Wear Pattern

I was wondering which tire positions show the greatest wear on the -8, since I've not had a rear-wheel drive car in a long time. Back in the day, the right rear saw the most wear (with an open differential), followed by the left front (on the street, right hand turns are sharper than left.)

What have y'all discovered?

This all depends on what kind of camber and toe you run...So most likely it'll be different from anyone. I track my car and right now my left front has the most wear, followed by left rear. But that is just because the track I usually run on is mostly right turns.
