Default Does the rear "favor" the left?

Yes. All the obvious stuff like tire pressures and road conditions are ruled out. The question is: Does the left rear try to spin first, like the cars I've grown up with? I ask as I hear some bit of squeal starting off from time to time (not launching the thing, just getting going perhaps a bit aggressively, but not much) but it's always the left rear. It is more noticeable starting off and going left. Like from a stop sign onto a cross street when the traffic finally breaks and you can get going. And in the garage. The concrete floor is very smooth, and I hear a chirp from time to time just pulling out of the garage. Dave? Where are you? Betcha know this one. Thanks.

The passenger's side rear tires on my car wear faster than the driver's side rear. To me that suggests that the right rear is "favored".
