    Fish - Is that tyre the correct size for the bike? Should be 160/60x17.

    I like the road attack grip but they cut out in the middle quite fast on the Ducati. And that's with no commuting and nice twisty road riding albeit at pace....

    And I would bet the main reason is your bike is riding way to low in the suspension stroke ( Spring rate and or pre load incorrect for weight) causing the tyre to over heat to much, causing exsesive wear

    Maybe. But only happens on the road attack. Only get around 5000kms outa one.
