However it does indicate that your suspension may not be set up right.
The right of my tyre looked similar @ Brands until the last lap, which immediately before with the help of Red Herring we adjusted the preload. The tyre came in looking a lot more normal, but would have had as hard a time as usual, the "wear" you see on your tyre MAY be from the tyre doing more suspension work than it needs to, which generates more heat, hence more tearing. But yeah, well done and I'd ride on them.

Absolutely fine mate - mine look worse tbh!
What SK says is right but it depends on the tyre I think. Tyres that aren't designed for hard track work may do that regardless - and even on my CBR, they are supposed to be fast road/track tyres (Dunlop D208RRs), but they got like that on 2 successive days. My suspension is set up there or thereabouts too, I set it up myself - following a guide & loads of testing! I'm willing to admit I may have not got it spot-on, but I don't think it's far off ![]() |
