Hairline Cracks

  1. They said the same buy a tyre and if there a problem they will reimburse me
     
  2. Interestingly I had the same issue on a Racetec K2 rear following a trackday in Belgium last week. It was mostly lefthanders, and I have some tearing which points towards suspension issues (which I expected), but otherwise some scratch lines around the tyre's edge just like yours. Nothing obvious at all in the hugger/swingarm area to have caused it, and the tyre performed fine.

    I'll try to put up a picture.
     
  3. There. Weird, non?
