I think it comes down to your bikes suspension not working together. As your corner, your bike compresses. As the bike is leaned, if say for instance, the front tire is compressed more than the rear, it will show less wear to the edge. So, your front tire is compressed more through its travel than the rear. Ideally, you want both tires gripping the same amount on thetires. but... Some bikes require more bite in the front or rearthan others. Not all bikes will wear tires the same. The different wear is nota bad thing unless your experiencing the tires sliding.

But as stated already, if you are running tires at different stages of wear or different tires completely, they will be different. You should always swap tires in sets if you are an aggressive rider. If not, its fine to change em out one at a time.

 

Clearly your just riding your bike backwards.

 

Im pretty sure Im not. The bar thingies are supposed to be behind you to catch you if you start falling off, right?

anyway, (and I feel stupid for not thinking about this one), I havent checked the tire pressure in a while... the front could very well be a little low... Ill check the tires tomorrow to see whats up... if theyre both inflated properly, Im going to assume its the suspension (or that I have very weird riding form or something lol)

 

im with everyone else here on this one....about an 1/8th to 1/16th inch on back but like a 1/2 inch on front.

 

Shinko has a less dramatic profile than the Dunlops so I'm not surprised to hear unusual wear with mismatched tires. Anybody think the Shinkos don't handle haven't tried their new tires. While not on par with Pirelli or Michelin (I just say no to Dunlop) the advantages of the pricier tires are seen almost exclusively on tracks ... unless you're being as *** and scraping pegs around minivans.
