Do you get simillar tyre wear??

[Impostor1981]

Hi all,

I ve noticed strange tyre wear on my back wheel. Possibly suspension related but before I start messing with it jus want to ask if this is sort of common on MT09


Its the leading edge of tread seams to be going quicker than the rest

Looks normal to me. You've just been accelerating fairly briskly whilst leant over, that's what causes wear like that. Compare with mine after a track day in hot weather

Oh I know what track wear look mate ;-) Tbh I dont accelerate that hard on the exit but maybe torque does its job. Ok no worries cheers

yeah they are crap on the mt mate, get some dual compound tyres like the Pirellis angel gts or the Michelin pr4s, the Pirellis are the best upgrade I have done on my bike.

I think I ll go for good old supercorsas o recetecs no better grip in dry. Wet is scarry but thats what B mode is for ;-)

My tyres wear the same. I would go for the sport touring tyres, as others have said the Angel GT's and PR4 get excellent reviews, and will last twice as long as the supercorsas

Its tje grip am after ;-) not as much milleage :-D

You will be surprised how good the angels are mate.

yeah got supercorsas on my bike now had the dunlops on for manx grand prix they did the job but prefer the grip and feel of the metzeler or pirelli

If you like the racetecs then try the new M7 RR, same kind of grip levels but there good in the wet, after nearly 1k on these they still look like the day i put them on, massive improvement over the dunlops

Cheers fish I ll give them a go after I demolish dunlops
