How much slack is in your chain? Is the "inside" side of your chain cleaner than the outside? (indicative of the chain rubbing on the tire)

Can you please take a picture of the tire, it will help indicate if it is wear from the chain, tire pressure (cold tear/hot tear), shock rebound setting etc.

What size tire are you running? Stock 160/60?

Is the tread shallower on the one side?

It's hard to tell from the pictures but I can see a steep "drop" just to the left of the center of the tire... How old is this tire?

I don't think a wheel bearing causes tires to wear rapidly, brand new last season doesn't say much... I should ask how many miles are on it?

Looks like it's time for new rubber anyway!

Could be bad wheel bearing, misaligned rear wheel, defective tire... Hard to say for sure. Best thing to do is make sure everything is straight and tight.

Maybe you just take a lot of left hand corners.
