Default Tread wear on Scorcher 11


Looking at the front of the bike, tread is worn more on the left side than the right. What causes this ? Tires have a little over 8100m on them. The back needs replaced too, but is worn right down the middle

My guess is you are more aggressive on your right turns than left???

I would think something is wrong with your bike. However I had a tire wear like that on the front of my pickup recently. there was nothing wrong with the alignment. It was an expensive tire to boot. So maybe it is just a problem with the tire itself.

First bike Ive had in a long time so I don’t drive overly aggressive in turns. I do open it up a little on highways but not twistys...yet. I just ordered a set from revzilla but I’d like to figure out why the front did that before I have the new tires mounted. Thanks for the replies
