Question about Tire Wear

So I have grounded my self from riding because I need tires. I was doing TCLOCS the other day (apparently I need to do it more frequently) and I noticed that I need new tires





I find it odd that my entire left hand side of the tire is worn flat, but the right side is not. Is this normal or do I just take more agressive lines and throttle on my left hand corners. Also pretty pleased with the "chicken strips" for a mostly commuter miles.

 

The tire wearing unevenly like that is normal. If you were to replace them sooner it wouldnt be so noticeable but it would still be worn more on one side. Unless you take an equal amount of left and right turns at the same aggression it will always wear that way. A guy at work just asked me the same question about a week ago. There is nothing wrong with your bike but you do need to replace your tires sooner.

 

And what is tclocs? Been trying to figure that one out.

 

Its something they teach in MSF course as a pre-ride inspection.
Tires, Controls, Lights, Oil, Chassis, Sidestand

 

I knew that.

 

The reason the tires wear more on the left side is because most roads are slightly crowned toward the middle so that the water runs off the sides of them. Completely normal.
