Rear tire wear

[broncoguy27]

I’m not mounting tires backwards. Btw, once the left side is chewed up, the right is also close to its limit.

I know I'm more confident turning to the right than to the left, so I probably hit things a little harder turning that way. I've never noticed that my tires were differently though.

Like this.... (a front one this time)



yes, the centers are perfectly fine for many thousands of happy commuting miles....

I am new to this group but 40 years a motorcyclist. Forgive me if I am stating the obvious but it is normal for the tires to wear more on one side than the other and it has nothing to do with living in an area with more right bends than left ones or that because you are right handed you corner more aggressively on right hand bends. Roads are cambered to aid drainage - i.e. the middle of the road is usually a little higher than the edges. Therefore, even if you rode a brand new tire in a dead straight line on a dead straight road until it wore out you would find that the wear is not even.
