Default Tire Wear Uneven

I'm about to replace my tires on a 2000 convertible. One of the rear tires have worn out more than the other rear tire. When I back out of my driveway and come off the curb sometimes I hear a clunk noise. I don't hear this all the time. The Vette has 55,000 miles on it. Any suggestions?

Thanks

The right rear tire will usually wear more than the left rear because it is the one that supplies most of the power to the ground until the posi locks up under wheel spin. As far as the clunk, impossible to tell from the description. Get under the car and do a visual, grab the suspension components to see if any are loose, spin the wheels back and forth, etc.
