Motorcycle Forum / Country Specific / UK Group / August 2008Odd front tyre wear pattern
As well as a shagged rear tyre, the front is also in need of replacement, but once again, the wear pattern on it is odd. The tread is worn *much* more on one side of the diagonal tread than the other. The trailing edges are perhaps 1/2 worn, while the leading edges are past the wear indicators. Pictures here: http://www.indqualtec.co.uk/bikes/FronTryeMain.JPG And profile, showing the triangular profile - this I'm not confused by - the tyre does all the work on the sides. http://www.indqualtec.co.uk/bikes/FrontTyreProfile.JPG  SignatureRob_P UKRM(at)indqualtec.co.uk uppercase(d) BBIWYMC#1 BOG#11?

The front tyre on the Ducati has done the same. Must get it replaced this week.

Well, it's always worn that way, it's just that every time I change it, Kev at Retford m/c always says it's wierd! > Indeed - not odd at all - showing evidence of braking heavily (on a > heavy bike) into corners while still banked over, that's all. Well I don't brake *heavily* into corners, I might start the turn while still easing off the front - but the FJ is a lardy cammel, and even just cornering with enthusiasm will load the front tyre flanks. I can never get rid of front chicken strips, mind - the rear is right to the edge, but the front has always still got 1/2" of bobbles by the time it's worn.
