Hey guys, post pix of your chicken strips....:rock
Good reading from what I see. Little concern for the geometry on Thejman1000 tires, but need more info.R1DSR and thejman, those look pretty good to my untrained eye.....those strips are mainly where you are getting on the gas coming off the corner. Under street riding, for example the whole tire carcass is not that hot, then when you get on the gas, that spot heats up suddenly and can show tares like it is. I would say that in your case like R1DSR at your pace, it is just a heat in the tire issue versus how much grip you are asking for issue. The suspension looks ok from the looks of the rest of the tire.....
Dan and Marcelo can grade me....
They are round; blackish; look kinda fuzzy :dunno
There is where it starts to become fun. And even more important to only make one change at a time. The exception to the 1 adjustment rule is generally checking the rebound. Always check the rebound after any adjustment. But in that one subtle adjustment you will find that you've changed a couple of the other suspension factors slightly as well. And you'll need to burn that bridge when you get to it. It really becomes a question of pilot impression and feedback. Marcelo and I discussed a few things, and one of us was able to take an educated guess at what may have caused what I saw. So with that info, he'll make his one change (and check the rebound) and run it.Sooo.....I I had a tire that looked like that I would be a very happy camper.....but....I would say that the leading edge of the edge most sipe is depressed, and the trailing edge is just a tick pulled up.....Also there looks to be a temperature difference between the edge of the tire and the middle of the tire, because the rubber is pulled up differently.
How to change any of the above....:dunno.....because it is so close.....
Do you mean on my tire? If so i dont follow where the tear is exactly?You don't think it's a cold tear? There's a groove there that parts of the tire is indented
