Concerned with Tire wear

[Davidk]

The "crown of the road" will cause wear as you have described! Those who live on the other side of the pond i.e. England experience more thread wear on the "right side" of their front tires!

I agree with Bob 100% !!! Discovered this from Honda Rune owners in England that were having the right side of their front tires wearing faster then the left side.
Honda Rune owners in the USA and Canada were having the left side wear out faster. It didn't help that the crappy Dunlops came with only 7/32nds of rubber.

Tire is done. It appears you have been having a lot of fun in roundabouts.

When we turn left at intersections, lean and accelerate... we travel 40-60 feet on the left side of the tire. When we turn right, lean and accelerate... we travel 20-25 feet before returning to the upright position. The left side normally sees more pavement here in the USA. It is NOT an alignment/fork issue.

Wouldn’t more of us be seeing that same wear pattern if that was the case?

The "wider" the road, the less pronounced "crown" encountered, in most cases. Narrow country/secondary roads are "notorious" for "crowning" and will quickly induce uneven tire wear. As a "Dark Sider" I've discovered that a "Rear BattleAx BT45 Tire" is the answer for front tire longevity. Those who own Wing Trikes have been using the "Rear Ax" as front tires for years with great success. Some even "reverse mount" the tire!

If you do some research you'll find plenty of data on "Double Dark Siding" to include the actual "dissecting" of "front and rear tires" by yours truly!
