Answer
Steven,

Not to much you can do.  Tires are often "one directional" meaning you can't reverse it to even out the wear.  It is common for cars and bikes to take more right turns than left believe it or not however this alone wouldn't usually account for significant wear.  If the bike was on a round track for any length of time it could produce this kind of wear.  If you feel the tire is defective and you bought it you can contact the maker, otherwise, swap it w/ a new one.
