The application at tyre patch is identical whatever scenario.
They don't wear one side with a single disc either.

Good point mate ;) I was thinking about a car wheel set up and one front tyre can wear differently to the other from brake binding .
sye:
Some Bridgestone tyres are well known for 'Cupping' on the rights side. It's partly to do with the road camber and tread pattern. Ignore it as it will last longer than you think.

Yes it's a bit thinky to get the force lines clear in your mind.
I've unusual input in that I've a Cannondale "Lefty" fork on a bicycle, one leg with disc and caliper with wheel fitted by centre bolt on rhs. As long as the tyre contact is bang in the centre of the frame it's absolutely neutral for steering and braking forces.
Quite funny though and draws odd comments when out on it. For enquiries I tell them it's really good but expensive and I'm saving up to buy the other side ;D

Don't forget roundabouts,
Those put a load on front tyres

I used to see quite a lot of this years ago caused by people who rode too far to the left of the road caused by the heavier camber.
