Go slower around roundabouts.

I had the same problem, every day I come off the motorway and into a sharp right hander. The front left tyre was always worn alot more than the right.

Check the tred is facing the right way? You probably have done this anyway, but you may have overlooked it.

do you think that when you go round rounabouts its puts most presure on the front left...do you think that could be why it is wearing more than the others?
