Intermittent wear spots on front tyre ? ?

[English biker]

Just got back from a ride to Cat & Fiddle and surrounding area,
Putting the bike back in the garage I noticed there are intermittent wear 'spots' on the 'off side' only of my front tyre ?
Has anyone had the same issue ?
The tyre has 10.000 mls on them (conti trail attack).
Was hoping to get another 1000 miles out of it but not now these have appeared.

Sounds like "Cupping"
It is a kind of uneven wear that can occour on fronts when the tyre is getting on a bit

Thanks University Biker.
Will start looking for a new pair.
As I don't do off road I shall invest in a pair of Bt023's.
Cheers

Hi English Biker,
are you saying the block parts of the thread are worn on the leading front areas? at 10k miles it would be expected,( it has been discussed here before) you may not notice it in general riding although when you fit a new front you will notice a new, better planted feel. Hats off to you to run it to 10k, a few Valentino's on this site reckon they burn out fronts at 3 or 4 k
