Why do front and rear tires have opposite treads?
And thus, the treads are designed with these primary forces in mind. Let us first take a look at the tread pattern on the rear tire. As the motorcycle propels forward and the tire rotates, and if the road was wet, the grooves on the rear tires are designed to “push water to the side”.
Where do you put the front tire on a motorcycle?

Why is the tread on my car tires getting shallow?
Depending on how the car tires are used, the tread becomes shallow over time. It affects the performance of the car tire.

Which is more worn the right front tire or the left?
In a city driving environment the right front tire wears faster than the others. After 20,000-25,000 miles I generally find the right side to be 1/32″ more worn than the left side with scheduled tire rotations. Most people make right turns at a crawling speed and left turns at 15-20 MPH. B.L.E October 13, 2016, 11:15am #3 I agree with Nevada_545.
Is there a way to adjust the rear tire?

I researched and looks like I need what’s called a camber kit (bolt) I can adjust the rear tires 1 3/4 inch inside and out.
What causes a negative camber tire to wear?
With negative camber, the top of the wheels are leaning inward (again, by design) which lean will tend to wear the inside tread of the tire, just as you are observing. Regular rotation of the tires, every 6,000 miles, tends to minimize that effect.
