Pilot Road 2 uneven wear
OMO question time
Got PR2's on the bike and the front is wearing in a odd way. Its wearing heavily on the Right hand side (on the bike) and you can see it on the tyre and there is a black line then a step onto the profile. Any thoughts or suggestions

Re: Pilot Road 2 uneven wear
it's called cupping (no sniggering) and on right is usually caused by roundabouts. do you go threw a lot of roundabouts on your way to work?

Re: Pilot Road 2 uneven wear
Andys more into spooning than cupping. Especially when he's the one being spooned.
