Tyres wearing on the RHS?

[Swivel]

Just a random question, why do tyres seem to wear more on the right hand side? Thanks in advance.

I've heard two explanations one is its from the camber of the road. The other is that you're more confident on right hand corners.

Wheel alignments fucked?

Wheel alignment, must look into that when I change my next tyres.

I wonder if the higher average radius of right handers over left handers has any effect? :scratch:

I prefer left hand corners if I had to choose.


The difference is 'wear' or chicken strips should be relatively minor. I put money on the roads designed camber for drainage.

I have a round about at the crest of a hill near my place, go through it most days. You can see a big difference between the chicken strips just due to that stupid thing

It's very common and is all down to the camber of the road.

[Oakie]

Yep. Just camber.

That's gotta be it! Mine are worn at the bottom only. I am more confident not riding the bike at all :)

Yep. Just camber.
I yam (or was) on several Mrkn bike forums; they have Eggs Zachary the same threads, but with "Why do my tires wear more on the left-hand side?".

If u move to USA or Europe you will wear your front tyre down on the other side...making them even.
