Hi all, went for a long ride today and noticed some unusual tyre wear on the rear tyre. Tyre is 6 months old and about 18000kms.

Any ideas on what causes this wear, its higher were the grooves are. Is this dangerous should i replace the tyre or is it ok.
Also my handlebars have felt very loose lately, to the point it's hard to ride straight at low speeds or slowing down for the lights.
Can i tighten the steering head bearings or would they have to be replaced, there's no grinding clunking or gripping but just feel too easy to turn the bars.
Thanks
Try again on the pic of the tire.
Yes, you can tighten your steering head nut, and it may help. It could be anything loose in the front end though, so check everything along the forks all the way down to the axle.
