Bridgestone T32 wear

I have a 2023 Yamaha Tracer9 GT+ and the front tyre has noticeably squared off while the rear tyre has a nice, normal rounded profile. Tyres were fitted at the same time but the front has literally squared off. Has anyone else experienced this type of wear?

Mate has the standard 2023 gt model and was saying yesterday he has had to fit a new front Bridgestone as the old one had squared off and worn faster than the rear

early front wear was a feature of the Tracer I owned and a common thing raised in forums a decade ago. I had a very early 2015 model, the first that arrived at what was Skellerns in Cheltenham.
The suspension on the early bikes was very bargain basement. Seems the geometry setup still causes this effect as a google search finds loads of comments and photos on reddit etc. Considering the way they have developed the bike with more sophisticated suspension compared to the original model one would have hoped the more recent and more expensive versions would be better with tyre wear.

Thanks for the replies so far. I was wondering if it was a characteristic of the Bridgestone T32 or with the bike itself. I seem to recall something about the T32 being prone to this and I also think that the latest Tracers have a longer swingarm which may or may not contribute to the issue.
