Looks like your picking the bike up off the corners and wacking the throttle open. Try to crack the throttle open and roll it open throughout the corner.

My tires used to look like that. I refined my throttle application and they now look smooth.
Your wait for the bike to more upright and are grabbing a hand full of throttle. As Ralph said get in the gas smoother and sooner. The tire will show more even ware. Ralph wore a tire out at Pocono East last time we were there and the tire has no tread at all from the edge to the middle. It was a beautiful sight.
