wot did i do....

[anutz]

is this normal or abnormal tyre wear.....not sure if its the way i have ridden or a fault or something else?


Its off my GSXR, not the FZS600, i have done probably 3500+ miles on it


may be a silly question but in the 2 years i been riding i only had to change a rear due to punctures, this is the first one i had on from new till the state it is in.....


I do mainly country riding, lots of corners etc, but this is bang in the center, all i can say is i have started some motorway stints last few weeks but surprised this would happen, unless its normal

I've never seen anything like that, but then I've not been through that many tyres myself, Perhaps a manufacturing fault, just very worn and/or maybe tyre pressures too high?

I'd be tempted to email the tyre manufacturer and ask their opinion?

Is there anything odd on the sidewall?

Will get some more pics tonight, but, no, side walls look fine, this strain pattern appears at other places around the circumference, just not sure if its normal or not but never seen it....

That happens before you reach the canvas.  Probably about a 100 miles riding, away from the canvas, change the tyre now.

i have the bike on stands now, and taking tyres to local shop for some PP3's so no arguments there....


is it "normal" then or have i missed indicators i should have changed it a while ago???

yep, that is one worn out tyre.

[unfazed]

Yes, you missed the indicators by a good
mile or two

Told ya it would eat tyres if you use it properly.

Thats not to bad tbh, had chunks fly off the tyres during some very high speed cruising (bike was a little over loaded at the time)

Indeed you did m8  , i was just surprised how it has worn, but then i have no idea what to expect so now i do!


lol

[joebloggs]

How many miles did you get out of it?

[joebloggs]

It's OK just read the 1st post properly

Your not trying hard enough lol

I think its more like 2800-3000 miles in reality.

[unfazed]

You will just have to find a road with more corners 

[sinto]

"Wot did I do?"

Simple answer, you used a gsxr

Have you got the newer tyres on yet mate? Have they made a difference?

[anutz]

Hi Sinto, yep!!!!


Got PP3's will go get a pic of them, very nice, were a little stubborn to lean in first few miles, but now i have scrubbed them in back to normal...


Just need to make sure i consider the tyres a little more now....at least for the first 5 minutes of riding it

[joebloggs]

Gas it hard out of corners and back off the throttle when vertical

Did that on my ZX10 and the edges were bald before the centre
