I noticed tonight my front tyre is worn more on the right hand side than the left, like it has been scrubbing too. Is that just due to roundabouts, or could I tend to be quicker in right hand bends perhaps? I'm just a bit confused that's all...

It's the camber of the road as we ride on the left(most of the time!), particularly pronounced if you're running a couple of psi shy

Depends on how many laps you do, of course the general camber of the road will have a minor effect but how many 'left-hand' roundabouts have you seen?....

Too many donuts? I found the same and put it down to having to spin the rear around to get into tight parking spaces.

True. yes

This then opens up the requirement to spend several weekends on the continent in order to get the best value from your tyres! hehe
