My S1 has started to feel a little squirrley and I notice that the front Pilot Power seems to be wearing uneven, almost like it is out of balance but I don't get vibration and the weight is still on the wheel. This tire definitely feels more like it wants to tip into the turn, unlike the Metzler M3s that I have on my S3. I know that you are supposed to change in pairs but my back tire is fairly new. I was just wondering what everyone was running and looking for feedback from other S1 owners before buying another Pilot Power. I may just swap the PM wheels from the S3 while I mull over my decision

Tire pressure might be to blame for the odd wear. Lots of tires loose pressure each week.

Powers are more triangulated then the M3 so tip in will be easier

The strange thing is that the wear is A- symmetrical and there is a line on the tire like the tread was put on the tire casing in two pieces
