Unusual Tyre Wear

Post by graham22 »

I have an Avon Storm which started to show a couple of lines about 3/4" either side of the centre line, originally assumed it wa sthe earthing strip showing.

After doing about 1000miles, there is now a band around the tyre which is visible and slightly raised to the feel. It looks almost as if the harder compound centre section is not wearing as much as the sides?

Has anyone else experienced this on a dual compound tyre & will it wear even with some dual carriageway/motorway use? Apart from going to Thruxton, the bike/tyre has not seen any distance use yet.

Don't want to change the ryre really as quite hapy with how it performs (yeah Monkey??)
