Tires...is it me?

[Lez72]

I too am running Conti RA2's on my boxeye. The rear is less than 2000 miles old and has already developed a slight flat spot down the centre. Its not at the stage where you can feel it affecting the handling but its definitely there. I would estimate that out of the last 2000 miles there has only been about 100 miles of dual carriageways and motorways where the bike would have been sat on the centre tread for long periods.

I have heard that it can largely depend on what tyre pressures you are running as to how fast a flat spot develops in the centre of a tyre  :rolleyes
