This is being replaced on Tuesday, so I'm not particularly worried, but I wonder if anyone has an explanation for the wear on this tyre? It isn't darkside related, because the shape was there before the tyre change on the back, but I strikes me as odd. The knife-edge on the sides is also interesting. On a car I would say alignment,but I don't think that that is a consideration on the front of a bike.
Bridgestone Battleaxe. The new one is a Pirrelli Angel GT
