Reading your bikes tyre wear

So what, if anything can be learnt about your riding style and how your suspension is working, by looking at the wear on your tyres?

as i mentioned andy i kill the sides of my front tyres
think it's a combination of slow in fast out on the bends with quiet a stiff set up at the front and a raised rear ride hieght at the back
also it's an st2
my fronts are often gone before the back

My fronts tend to wear at the same rate as the rears but i havent yet managed to scuff them anywhere near to the edge on the front despite going all the way on the back.
