What ill results could come from this?? -- Band site http://psy-ops.org Journal http://psy-ops.journal.iwarp.com
<snip> The centre will wear more than the sides _but_ it will still wear slower than a normally inflated tire because it will run real cool. Some people will pump the tires right up to the maximum for fast motorway transport to save rubber for the twisties at the far end of the trip. Do not try this if you don't understand the trade of in grip and handling and think it's safe enough.
Why the difference? I've never heard this before and it doesn't make sense at first blush. Can you explain? Matt
I buy that, but unless you live in a place with lots of really curvy roads, you will spend most of your time within 10 degrees of vertical and that isn't going to wear much of the sidewall. I've always run my tires on the high side, but never above the max that the tire maker allows, and I tend to get decent mileage from both ends and good handling. You do sacrifice a little ride, but for the most part I didn't find that too objectionable. Matt
I've worn out several sets of tires and I've never seen a motorcycle tire ever wear out first anywhere but the center of the tire. Matt
