Hi all!

I noticed this morning that the centre of the NSF tyre is wearing unusually.....like scrubbing, with tread on the middle section higher towards the inside of the tyre (if you know what I meean!)

Tyre pressures are 36 all round, checked weekly.....over-inflation is not the issue.

I thought it might be something to do with the manner in which I traverse roundabouts, but all other tyres are wearing evenly.

Might this be a NSF suspension issue?

Tracking check first, then bushes.

Tracking, wheel and suspension all fine....the mystery deepens!

The fact that it's only the one tyre is quite revealing.....maybe there's a soft region in the tyre?

I wonder if the tyre supplier will replace my fronts FOC....you know, as a goodwill gesture?!

Maybe not!!

What's to lose? Take proof that the tracking etc is all fine and see what they say.
