What does the tire tread do? On a normal, smooth road, the tread has only limited influence on the riding properties. The grip generated by the tire on the road is almost exclusively the result of the rubber compound. Unlike a car, a bicycle will not aquaplane. The contact area is much smaller and the contact pressure is much higher.
Aggressive off road tires chop more easily. Alignment problems will cause inside and outside tread wear on the tire but not in top tread and not necessarily chopping. Under inflated tires will wear both outsides of the tire tread. Over inflated tires will wear the inside the tire tread.
