You squared off a front tyre ?
What pressures are you running at ?

Well , I`ve never seen a squared off front in all my years to be honest , it doesn`t mean it doesn`t happen I suppose but Damn , I would check the pressures on that as a squared off front seems a bit "Off" to me , I`d expect it on a side car kitted bike but not one that leans over and wears more evenly than a rear would . If this , is indeed , the case then it would make handling seem a bit "Panicky" as you transfer from the worn edge onto the rest of the tyre . Does it feel like the bike is going to flop or fall over when you reach that point ?

Avon Storms are my top choice for SV usage , good all weather tyre , decent mileage and you will be carving corners like they are nothing .
