Adjust the angle of your throttle pedal. Many times it is temporarily adjusted too close to the back side of the footbox, and will cause a rapid loss of vulcanized rubber from rear tires. Extreme manifold preasure is a contributing factor. Side effects are an excessivly overactive fuel gauge. Often time noise and air pollution are also affected. If this continues, the local authorities are sometimes concerened and will volunteer their efforts. They also have other ways of adjusting the above, consult with them directly. Sometimes they can and are willing to "Meet you away from home" and do the adjustments "on site" often at the road side. Ironically they are able to carry out these adjustments only using pen and paper, no other tools. Amazing!
