Hi,
Based on your info, I would suspect your right tire has some uneven wear on the outer egde area. When you turn left the force/weight of the vehicle is shifted more to the inner edge and relieves the outer. Eventually, the pattern of wear will increase to the point that the tire will need replacing. The question is, what is causing the wear? It could simply be a faulty tire, or a balancing issue or an alignment issue.
Hope this helps... Good luck.

The problem you describe is consistant with a tire problem. Could be as simple as rebalancing, however since it does not do it when you turn left, it makes this solution unlikely, but not out of the question. I would, based on your description of the problem tend to think that your tire may be slightly out of round from the center to the left side of the contact patch, or possibly a belt separating on the inside. When you turn left, your tire will tend to ride on the right edge, you loose the vibration, which would lead me to believe that your tire is "true" on the right side of the contact area.
