Cheers for the replies guys, I suspect it was a combination of things; me being a bit too heavy with the front brake transferring too much weight forward leaving the back brake to overwhelm the rear tyre, it is not that worn but it is a few years old esp if it was not 'brand new' when it was fitted (in Oct 2010) I was just a bit surprised because the roads were warm and I had already ridden for 30 miles so assumed things were all warmed up. I guess that some more modern rubber may be needed, I just like to get at least the middle tread worn away before getting shot of a tyre but then I dont have an income at the mo so.....best laid plans of mice etc!!
