| Well you might be right Ali. I have been playing around with my suspension a lot tyring different things. The tyres are showing no signs of distress that you would expect with overly hard suspension or excessive damping - they're just worn out all over. I guess it's possible that the variations I've been trying have stressed them more than normal.
I normally run the front at 33-34psi and the rear at 36-38 psi. The roads around here across the moors are pretty bumpy so, I tend to run the suspension fairly soft and compliant otherwise I'd spend a lot of time out of the saddle. This does make the bike move around a fair bit but, keeps the wheels on the road. Nevertheless, I do the same with my big heavy Triumph and that doesn't knacker the tyres so quickly.
For sure I have no complaints about the level of grip they give which, is more than adequate for road use. Just the wear rate is a bit excessive. |
