Default squared off tires

As some of u know I put a set of "pilot roads" tires on my Vstrom DL1000 about 2500 miles ago. I, getting a little concerned that the rear is squaring off quite a bit. The tread is still about 50%, just squaring off more than I'd like. My question is besides handling can this cause tire failure or is its dangerous? I'll try to post a pic later.

thanks

Dan
