Strange tyre wear

[Mike Rocket]

Go with the Cobra Chrome .

Yes i think i will, they seem to get a better write up.

I'm not sure if this is a factor for you or not; I seem to add more air during the cold months than the warmer parts of the year. My tire pressure drops by 4-5 PSI every 2-3 weeks over the winter. and hardly at all during the summer. I ride year round and my tires never reach their end of life date before running out of miles. Keeping them filled up have increased that mileage by a 1,000 miles or so.

I think the cold air contacts in the cold and as the tire warms up it expands but i don't think the tire pressure gauges are completely accurate as the 3 i have all vary between 2 or 3 lbs when tested against each other so i do not think my tire pressures are exactly correct. I purchased a new gauge for comparison and that was different too.

I run my tires 2psi over max and have prevented the dreaded cupping/scalloping effect. My OEM Mets lasted to 8K miles on my 2014 R3T. I have run Bridgestone Exedra Max ever since and get around 13K miles from a set.
The picture show tire wear at 7,900 +/_ miles on the Mets.

Boog that tire is done bud

10 degress will change your psi from morning to morning, from 90 to 46 degrees f. Huge difference

That is really quite an eye opener. I've always watched tyre pressures but never seen or realised such a difference could occur. Food for thought in future

I settled on Cobra Chrome's after Metzler and Michelin...and haven't looked back.
