What would cause this type of wear on front and back tires? Identical wear in the last 1500 miles or so. I keep the recomended pressure in both. They are Dunlop tires and I have heard of crazy things happening to Dunlop's. Not sure how many miles are on the tires...they where on the bike when I got it...the pics are not the best..sorry..the wear.. high in the center with defined edge on both sides. it has 7500 miles on it now. 00' X1. thanx for any info

Looks like cupping, tires are under inflated |

That is straight up commuting and ripping the corners.......Look at wear pattern. Cupping can happen because of high speed braking and accelerating and air pressure. I refuse to use anything Goodyear makes I.E. dunlop. The last couple bike(s) i bought that had dunlops on them went into the trash immediately Even if they were new! Not going to elaborate but i won't sell a good year tire in my shop! Oh by the way look at those chicken strips!! (Message edited by preybird1 on August 12, 2011) |
