The tread on my front tire isworn more on the outside of the tread than in the middle whereas the rear's are the opposite. The rear is almost square. Regarding the front is this normal?

Dunlops... get rid and fit something worth having on. There are plenty of suggestions on here if you look for them.

Nothing wrong with Dunlops, I think I may have to refer Lozzo to a statement made previously elsewhere.....
![]() Being serious (no really) I use Dunlop D209 Qualifiers on my SV to fairy good effect so as Stu says it depends on which specific tyre you have, not necessarily the brand. Don't worry about that wear, it's perfectly normal. Before you replace them, and it sounds like they need it, have a search around this Forum under tyres. There are loads of reviews and it's important you get a set that suit what you want to do, and your budget. |
