Tyre wearing faster

I've just checked the tread on my tyres think I g they are probably due to be changed. I've a 2015 leon.
The front right has less than 2mm so needs changing obviously. The front left has around 4mm left.
At first I thought that's fine because I had to change a tyre but the tyre on the worn tyre on the right is the tyre that was changed.
All tyres are the same brand, hanook ventus prime so I'm wondering how they new tyre wore so much faster then the originals? It was replaced after about a year.

Anyone have recomendations on what to replace it with or where to get them done? I go between bray & clondalkin so either of those areas or along the m50 would do

If that wheel was out of alignment it could wear out faster I imagine.

Go around a lot of round abouts?

Different pressures cause one tyre to wear faster also.

Is the excessive wear spread even across the entire tread of the tyre? Or is it on the outside/inside shoulder or centre of the tyre?

Wheel alignment would affect the tread on the same tyre though not different sides of the car, or am I wrong on that.
The tyres seem to be wearing evenly so I don't think that's the cause.
90% of my driving is motorway, not too many roundabouts involved.

Both the same tyres?
Get wheel spin much?

More than likely a tracking issue if not but could also be down to worn bushings in the wishbones, subframe, etc.
