I was explaining to the technician how the left rear kicks out to the left under heavy throttle like 99% of the time, and how I thought it does it less with traction control on, which leads me to believe it is the VSC, and he said that could be the case. I asked how I could have such bad wear on one and good wear on the other, and the technician says in the US we make more right hand turns, which makes sense like I am much more likely to make a power slide on right hand turns from a stop (for fun) than during wider and longer left hand turns. Maybe that could explain some of it. I don't know.

Your Tech is right in what he said. I have noticed the same thing. Left rear has more wear due to same driving style.
