That would do it. Especially if you travel it in both directions.
Downhill places much more weight on the front end and will wear the
tires faster. I would probably rotate the tires more often to try to
compensate for the wear. You might want to step up to a stiffer sidewall
and maybe even add some camber to even out the wear on the tires a bit.

Thank you for that advice of
* Downhill twisting causes more front end wear than uphills
* Rotate more often
* Stiffer sidewall might help
* (less positive) camber might help

On the camber, if my search results are correct, the outside edge tire wear
would be due to too much positive camber (top spread out). That seems to
indicate that I would *lessen* the (positive) camber (get it closer to zero
than it is now).

Is that the correct direction?

On the "stiffer sidewalls", I searched for what that means in terms of
beign able to actually choose the stiffer sidewall between two tires was
the aspect ratio and the load range.

Is that correct?

I'm not likely to get a "shorter" tire aspect ratio so the only viable
option left is the higher load range (like going from 102S to 105S).

Are you suggesting that a higher load range tire will have less outside
edge feathering?
