Does tire wear have an effect on alignment?
I recently got my car aligned however it still seems to pull to the left when I'm driving. I checked the tire pressure and it's fine so I'm wondering if my tire wear on the outer edge of the right side (looking at the car from front) cause the car to pull to the left. My right side tires do have more wear since we do make a lot of right hand turn driving in the U.S.
Any ideas?

You may need to provide us with more information. Such as the actual alignment numbers.
The only thing I can think of is that you may have a cross caster issue or some kind of mechanical failure.
Also if you haven't checked already. Drive on both sides of a crowned road and see what happens.

I have the print out at home and if I remembered the they print out a before and after spec and the new alignment is almost accurate to the suggested spec from the manufacture.
My old toe in the front right (looking at the car from the front) was off by -19 they fixed that.
