Default Why does this happen (weird tire wear)?

One side of the car has the tires virtually gone, while the other is not as bad. Any ideas?

uh....................... when was the last time u had an alignment done? might wanna look in to that. the car might not pull in a certain direction but that dont mean your alignment angles are ok.

fronts, rears?

Do you have poly sways, are the bars even in the (chassis) mounts?

Its the whole passenger side, front and rear. All I have are coilovers and steering bushings. If it was just one tire then I'd suspect alignment but its weird its the whole passenger side.

coil-overs are they even with the other side...stupid question I know...first thing that went into my head.
Also maybe the camber on that side is misaligned....maybe the dude doing the alignment messed up?

i put coilovers on my car and had it aligned, it drove pretty straight but it did this to my tires also, so i took it to a friend who does alignment(couldnt before) and he told me it was impossible to align it because it NEEDS a camber kit, the last guy just kinda did it to the best possible, might be your case, daizen camber kits are on back order though
