Default Tire wearing fast

This happens to me but I was wondering what does it mean if your front passenger tire is wearing dumb faster than all the other ones

It means your accelerating too hard all of the time :p

That's your drive tire haha.

Also it could be suspension related, bearing related, etc.

I don't think I accelerate hard I barely press the pedal, and also I never had an alignment yet I wanted to try and pinpoint what could be the problem first, I had changed this wheel hub not that long ago as well

Do you drive with your traction control button "off" all the time? The orange lights on the dashboard that say TRAC CONTROL OFF.

I would guess something suspension/alignment related.
