I think I'm being a little paranoid in that my rear tyre seems to be squaring. There's plenty of tread left on it though it does seem to have a little flat spot. They are Pirelli somethings I'll have to check later.

Being an inexperienced/new rider I'm not quite sure if it's fine and I'm just being silly, I'll try and grab some photo's this afternoon.

Obviously getting the bike over round bends etc is going to help even out the wear. So I'll try and find some windy roads this weekend or go around a roundabout again and again.

I also read that engine braking will increase wear on the rear tyre? Is this true?

Any other tips for keeping squaring to a minimum other than slamming it in to courner which I don't have the confidence to do yet!

Thanks,

Edit: It's a second mode of transport so isn't used for regular commuting or motorway miles mostly residential & main roads with the odd motorway journey.
 
Thanks,

Tyre pressues, I'll consult my handbook. Should I take some notice as to the recommended PSI written on the rubber too?
