Strange tyre wear ...

[Mr OCD]

... not certain what's going on here, but thought would ask some of the gurus on here:



Thoughts gents?

The tyre deforms more where there is a tread cut into it.

You should lean over a bit more

[Biker's Nemesis]

I think its because you've been power sliding out of corners on full lock.

[bogie]

dunno, but I have the same wavey edge on the rear Diablo supercorsa on my MV ...im about 850 miles into it, road use only and have a few mm left each side in the same pattern ??...weird

...guess i need to just try a bit harder

This could be it. Maybe.

That's really weird. Never seen wear like that before.

Is it catching something?

That was my initial thought, but I don't know if it quite looks right. Maybe catching on chain guard/hugger?

[toohangry]

Something eithers rubbing it or your rear shock needs looking at I reckon.

[Yazza54]

Have you been 50 pencing it on the m62 slip roads???

[Mr OCD]

It's not rubbing on anything.

Interestingly it's only on the left side as well!

Did consider the shock, but not sure atm

You sure it's not the chain rubbing? Wider tyre/ misaligned wheel/loose chain??

[Biker's Nemesis]

I'd be worried about the missing spoke in your rear wheel.

Weird.

First thought was wheel alignment, but like others, I've never seen anything like that before.

Perfectly sure fella. Alignment is all spot on...

Got the tyre / suspension guy to have a look at it on the track day and his comment was 'fast rebound'...

Couple of issues with that..

1. it's only on the left. Suspension issues would show on both sides.
2. The spacing of the 'cuts' would indicate a really high frequency. Which would mean the rebound would be skipping uncontrollably all the time and the entire tyre would show signs of rebound issues, like raised sipe edges. Yet the sipes show nothing of the sort..
