If your front tyre is worn, seems like a good bet.

As a guide to front tyre wear - when you turn into a slow corner and the front wheel feels like it wants to "turn in" your front tyre is "cupping" - while it may look good, run your hand down the edge of the tread and you will feel what I call "dragon's teeth"
If you do, it's time to change it - that tyre's done !
