Tyre wear

Sun Feb 11, 2007 7:38 pm

Just wondering if anyone knows if this is normal, :?
The rear Pirelli Diablo is loosing chunks on the leading edge of the
tread blocks, is it a suspension set up? (too much rearbound or compression) I am still playing with the Ohlins.
Hope the pix show it clearly.

looks like normal wear from some hardish accelleration to me. The pics are not that clear however. :)

under inflation will do that but the tire generally feels better with a little less air in it anyway.

Sorry about the pix I just got the camera :oops:
That's the old road on that 40 degree day, but it dose it even on cold days. :?
I would hate to see a soft tyre it was a standard Diablo :shock:
