Roadster Front Tire Wear

Claviger said:

So at 5900 miles my front ME880 is visibly wearing in a strange way. I keep pressure at 38, but over the course of a month or so it'll leak down to 33, at which point I know its low because I get a little head shake that starts at 33PSI regularly, so I air it up. The whole tire's life has been spent doing this 38 psi > 33 psi >38 psi cycle.

If you look closely you can see off center both sides is worn significantly more than the center or the far outer edges. So strange!! Any ideas why this would happen? Is it just a result of cornering quickly often or something not normal, I've never ever had this happen on any of my other front tires in the past on my Daytona.

33 is 1 less PSI than triumph recommends, at 33 I refill it to 38, do you see how your argument is invalid? How do I always know it's at 33? It starts to wiggle when cornering, so I go fill it.

Metzlers are garbage, always have been, always will be.

I liked the Avon Cobra but Love the Dunlop Elite 3 (just put my third on) much better feel and feed back and I got better mileage as well.
as for Sh!t Metzlers!!! ........ they should never have been an OEM tyre as they do the bike a disservice
