Thank you.

As most of you answered in my thread about rear tire wear. A rear tire will wear out in the center faster due to the workload it is subjected to. Downshifting, acceleration, braking, abrasiveness of the road surface all contribute to wear the tire out faster in the center than on the sides. Am I wrong?
