Default Front Driver side tire wearing faster...
My right front tire is wearing a good bit faster than the rest and its kind of spotty on the tread wear... some spots lower than the rest. Any ideas?

It doesn't pull left or right, I guess I can take it to the shop and see what's going on with it

Check all your tie rod ends. My Jeep was doing the same thing and apparently all my TRE were bad.

front driver's side tire wears faster due to the fact we generally make more right hand turns and therefore the weight is trasnferred onto that said tire. now if it's abnormal wear its as said above. rotate more often and do the 5 tire rotation
