I fitted a pair of pirelli diablo tyres, front has done around 2500 miles, and the rear which was fitted a couple of weeks later around 2000.
I felt that the handling improved dramatically, but started to feel a bit heavier/slower of late, looking at the tyres, I was surprised to find the wear on the front to be quite heavy on the sides, particularly on one specific part of the tread pattern, I know the centre tread acts harder, but was surprised to find this level of wear so soon, the rear looks fine, some wear but minimal.
anyone else had this?
pressure run at 36 psi.
