The front wheel
The front wheel. Forward load transfer increases the load on it and reduces the load on the rear wheel. Use the brakes progressively and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions; this does not mean using only the front brake. Nor does it prove that the front tyre always wears faster: wear depends on use, pressure, load and other factors.
