Uneven front tyre wear

My brother took a Diversion 600 into the Alps. Exactly the same. Back in UK at tyre change MOT time the mech was stunned to see so much shoulder tread wear with relatively little central wear. It was worn more on the left.
My GS (used in UK) wears RHS shoulder before LHS.
Road cambers have got to make a difference. I regularly make a LH T junction turn- often there is no traffic so I swing out and crank the bike over often just touching left boot down. The camber is very much to the left. I still have a wider chicken strip in left than on right.
Hence my comment about road camber in post 3, thought Mike O seemed to disagree, done enough road trips abroad to notice tyre wear on the other side, as I said before, road camber, simples.

I still don't think camber is doing it - riding on the other side of the road and the manner of overtaking etc might , but I fail to see camber as a cause...
 
An overtake out, around and back should all cancel out so should wear left & right equally.
My back tyre has been nearly illegal for weeks. The (really quite narrow) central area is now dead and sides have a lot less tread than I normally see. The RHS has the most wear. Both sides have feathering at tread block leading edges but more pronounced on RHS.

Most people seem to corner better one way or the other. Possibly related to right/left handed ness.

Front tyre has more thread but also more worn on right. They are going as a pair this time.
