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.

should see mine after 300kms of track use....

yep, there is evidence of it coming out of most corners, long skinny bits of black evidence..... :shock:

I will remember that track day for a *long* time......

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:
