Is it wearing more on the left? If so, some degree of that is normal from the crowning of the roads.

To the best of my knowledge, there isn't a way to align the front. I would have to agree that the probability rests on the road conditions. You might be also making more turns in one direction as well.

Ride on the R-side of the road! Left side wears the most from the longer left turns, and some from the crown of the road.. Folks in the UK wear the R-side.. If the air psi is ok! Since the front tire is pointing the way the bike goes! the only one that could be out of alignment would be the rear, not following with bike straight up..
