If you continually hooned about doing mostly hard right hand bends, would you expect to see localised tyre wear, if so where?
If you keep close to the limit but generally not sliding a lot, the inside tyres will wear more than the outside (because they have less weight on them, and will start to slide slightly before the outers let go). If you are sliding around a lot though, the outer wheels will wear a lot more than the inners.

you want to try star milleniums!!!! (what?) I know, they came on it!!, Could not wear them down!!, On the back as well!!, ended up having a day on a runway spinning them and basically arsing about trying to wear them down!!, In the end I only got rid because of a bad puncture!!!!!

Not noticed that bit, shame I can't swap them around and wear them out evenly
Think new tyres are going to be neeed at the MOTmust stop enjoying the drive home
You can swap them round , take the tyres off the two front wheels and swap them around to the other rotational sides ie put the drivers tyre on the passenger side so that the worn inside left becomes the worn outside right.
xain said: What do you guys think of the Avons, and the Star Milleniums? Are they ZR rated? I only ask because I really don't need race-track performance and I'd quite like a tyre that lasts longer at the expense of max performance.
Well in that case Xain, I guess new Avon ZZ3s would be your best bet - for what you in particular want. I wonder if you'd ever have to change them again?! Actually they're not a bad tyre even despite their long-life - and quiet too (tho hard to tell this last point
