can a bald rear tyre make the front one slip?

My front tyre has loads of tread where as my rear is virtually bald

i have michelin pilot sportys 90/90=18 rear, 2.75-18 front. Whats the max pressure i can use in both tyres in order to maximise wear rate?

Surely you mean minimise wear rate? The max pressure recommended will be printed on the side of the tyre but this isnt the recommended pressure for your bike. What is it, a cg125?

Rear tyres usually wear out alot quicker than front so just buy a new rear if its worn out.

its an en 125 the bike says to have 29 in both tyres but i want to make the rear last longer. Ill be getting another michelin pilot sporty as the back tyre is near enough bald and i honestly cant tell the difference if it were to have grip so they must be darn good.

The front however has loads of tread but seems to have slipped about 3 times could the bald rear cause this?

If you do a lot of straigh road riding you may have a ridge either side on the front due to the wear making it step out when you lean over and hit the ridge. I have this problem just now. Sometimes its hard to see this ridge. Or you could just have hit crap on the road.
