Also what does it mean when the edges of the tyre go blue? I remember reading something about it somewhere. Is it something to do with chemicals in the tyre or heat cycles or something? My bridgestone 010s always used to do it on the 996s. And now the rear on the MS has done the same.

Someone told me that they have a lot less grip when they have gone blueish!? Can't say I have noticed.

I think the blueish is a sign of overheating or being used to hard before properly warm. Hopefully Tyreman will pop in and give us the true definition.
