Post by Pebble »

Got back from a 30 mile run on the motorway, When i checked the rear tyre saw bit's of rubber stuck to the tyre, Is this hot tear?

I wouldn't expect so - were your pressures correct? If so I wouldn't lose sleep over it, just stay clear of motorways which will square your tyres off something rotten... :-s

Just looks like you gave it some beans and you have worn away some of the tyre. Don't think anything to worry about.

If your worried have a read of this might find it helpful

That's quite common to see on a warm motorway stint. Like Simon asked, were you 2 up or loaded with luggage, usually more obvious then.

Nothing to worry about.

One up, And excellerated hard down a straight. Slowed up now, and have not had a problem since. Had got a harder compound tyre on order, doing about 300 miles to work a week on motorway.
