I'm guessing your track runs counter clockwise?
If this is the case there will always be 4 more right turns then left. No matter what.

The extra right turns needed to complete the course will cause the left tires to wear sooner than the right. This is why it's important to rotate the tires every round.

If you see this type of wear inside of 8 mins, you may want to go over the setup as well as how you are entering the turns. If your car is sticking the front end and sliding the rear, this may cause excessive wear.

Some more info on your setup may help.

Make sure you rotate your tires after every run...
Also make sure your car is not "drifting" or "sliding" on the left turn corners. Oversteer wears the tires more then just running....
How long do you soak your tires, and with what additive? longer soak will make the tires wear more...
