Replaced my original tires last fall at about 10,000 miles. Went with the new Dunlop Elite 4's because they supposedly have better center wear. Have been happy so far but just noticed that my front tire is wearing excessively on the left side, while the rear looks good on center, left side and right side. Have put about 12,000 miles on these so far. So today I stopped at the dealer to question if they did something wrong when installing the tire last fall or if my forks were the trouble. The mechanic smiled and said that it is common on Goldwings and heavy bikes in the north. He pointed out that the roads up here are crowned pretty high and that causes the left side wear.
You guys probably already knew this but I never even thought about it.
Going to get a new set so that I have some traction this winter.
Just wanted to share.
