+1 on chewing up front tires. My Michelin Road 2 looked like a triangle when it was done after 4000 miles. Back with same milage was still round.

One side only though is puzzling. Forks twisted maybe?

Left side goes first in the states, right side for left hand drive countries. It's not fork related.

Same way mine is wearing - dual compound tires are more prone to doing it IMO
Seems fronts wear twice as fast as rears Gonna try Shinko Verge 011's next

I just mounted my third set of PR2's. The first two sets went 12k miles with the front giving up first, just as described, like a triangle, but even. The center compound wears well but it does end up giving an edge to fall off when the soft sides are worn away. I still like 'em so third set was automatic when I get the distance out of them like I do.
