My last bike was a cruiser and the tires lasted forever, with relatively flat wear patterns. So maybe I'm freaking out about nothing...
At 6200 miles, I am getting close to the wear marker on my back tire (Dunlop Roadsmart). It's the front tire that concerns me. Yesterday when I got off the bike, I noticed this unusual wear pattern. I had thought my turn-ins were starting to feel a bit abrupt...
The middle is actually raised up and drops off suddenly to the side. The front is not close to the wear marker at any point, so its not like the sides have worn that much. If you look close you will also notice the raised center drops at spots. Belt separation? I don't know. I have always been a stickler for proper tire pressure. In any case, I'm having a set of Pilot Road 4's put on in a couple days. I'll hold off on riding it until the new tires arrive.
