3 weeks with a new front tire??

ok, so i got a new BT012 front tire for the 900rr 2 weeks ago and started practicing stoppies.. i'm rolling 160 consistently now, but the front tire is already worn to 2/3 of the life span.. what the fu(K? I put 1.8 bar pressure in it (normal would be 2.2) is this normal? what would be a better tire then? as in which tire would last longer but still have the same grip?

Yeah Da liks, I got the same problem here as well.. I had a super corsa, but it was an old race track tire... I replaced that one with a brand new Pirelli tire (don't now what type srry)

And now, after only a couple of times riding, the tire also worn 2/3 of it's life time... Maybe allready 1/2

I was like: WTF !!! How quick do these things go On my moped I never replaced the front tire It lasted longer then a life time So what's up with this
