Not sure what you mean by "lean in instead of leaning off it". I'm not sure how your bike handles .. but I go into a corner and roll the throttle on ... my bike does not like cornering with a steady throttle .. feels a bit like you describe ... maybe go into a corner a bit slower, then roll the throttle on . and power it on as you come out so the bike pull itself upright ...
Maybe the tyres themselves don't suit the bike and your riding style ..
Your description of the tyre wear doesn't tell me much. You should not have unmatched chicken strips on the tyres - they should be the same ... but maybe a bent axle causes that - best get that fixed first.
But what does the wear pattern look like on the front tyre? Is it scuffed from braking or accelerating? Can you post pix? (and maybe pix of the back tyre as well?)
But get that axle seen to .. I'm not sure what you mean by a bent axle .. I think the wheel would not turn properly if that was the case .. but whatever you mean it doesn't sound good ... or maybe it's bent off straight up and down - which would certainly affect they way it corners .. or even runs in a straight line .. when you look at your hands on the bars is one hand getting there a litle before the other hand? (Look when you are riding, not when you are sitting still or on a stand ...)
