I believe that this is due to the amount of speed and pressure that is applied to the left side when entering the sweeper at the end of the straight. I dont know what you can do to reduce the inequality of wear. Because if you true the tires larger on that side it may effect the way the car handles ih other portions of the track. I have the same issue with my son's carpet sedan, just on a smaller scale. Hopefully someone on this thread with more experience than myself can shed some light on the issue.
