any ideas?
front tyre. rear shows no bias in wear. i'm pretty sure there's an even number of left and right hand corners in my travels.
we're talking zero tread on bike right, maximum (expected wear) tread on left side....
shat manufacture? bearing going? turns out i'm a dick after all? ...something else?!?!

Make and model of tyre?
Shall I buy another bike???
We ride on the left. Therefore for right hand bends you have to travel further than left hand bends. So more wear on the right side of your tyre. Seems funny but happens to plenty of us. Reverse it if you lived in the US/Europe and ride on the right

Or when you're on straightish sections of road the camber of said road causes the right side of the tyre to contact the road more than the left??We ride on the left.

this is really excessive though, even for riding (mostly) on the left...?!

You get 6 months out of a tyre?
Time to ride

Turn the tyre around.
There's probably another 3000 kms left in it.

Yep, those pics look about normal, even for a green writer...but hey, six months out a set of tyres? I wish I could achieve that...We ride on the left.

You're a dick.
That is all.

by my calculations (which are perfect, obviously) that's about 6300kms. tyres should go more than that, shirley?
Maybe. If you're lucky or buy cheap nylon tyres.
BT45s are pretty cheap, think yourself lucky you aren't replacing Pirelli Angels or Michelin PR3s that regularly.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
