and in answer to previous comments: the rim is true and round, the suspension is working well and has been setup by me and then checked by a recognised suspension tuning company. the wheels/tyre combo was balanced at fitting and still had the weights attached (i.e none had fallen off) I run std pressures of 36F and 42R.

no skidding or burnouts (you must be kidding at THESE prices!!)

well believe it or not - Ive got another video coming (as soon as Ive charged my cell phone) of strange wear on a 2CT FRONT!!!!!

bizarre!

what bike is it? how old is the shock/oil/spring..5000 miles is old for shock oil, depends on how hard you ride too... and make sure the suspension set up is correct for your weight, good luck! I ride them at 42 psi, 200 lb guy.....

I have had no problem with them! Always going to go with pilot powers! Actuaully just changed changed my tires to PP's even thought my old tires only had 350 miles on them!

guys, its the angle they put in the roadway to clear rain reflecting in your tyre..

I run 35f & 38-40r on my pilots never seen this wear pattern b4,i try to use as many b roads as possible for my journeys if possible to slow down squaring off on the tyre.Your tyre looks like its scrubbing across the road surface u could check for rear axle misalignment..anyways hope u get it sorted chug...
