That is the preferred way. Lean off and keep the fat part of the tire in contact longer. Until you get MotoGP good and then they lean the bike so far they can't lean off.

I typically get more strip on the front of the tire than the rear on the street, which tells me I am leaving a little margin on entrance and getting it on good from center out.

Race tires I notice I get them scrubbed all the way BUT I think I start out the races with good body position and then get lazy as my stint gets on...The more tired i become the less I move around and hang off and the more tire I use to keep the same lap times...
