if the wear is not cuped and just in the middle of tire, it could be over inflated for your Wt. on that tire,

To quick check alignment:
Jack up the front end so the tires are off the ground
Set the handlebars as if you are going straight.
Pick a spot on the back of each of the front tires in the middle, on one of the knobs.
Mark each tire with a sharpie or ink pen.
With a tape measure, measure from one side to the other. note the measurement.
Rotate the tires so the marks are at the front of the machine and measure again.
The two measurements should be the same.
If the measurement is smaller at the front, it's running pigeon toed and could wear the tires abnormally.
You will need both to be equal by adjusting the steering tie rod ends s the tires track straight.
