  1. any good sources? Or strong knowledge? Could do with some info to work out if my suspensions is about right or not, looks ok to me but i'm a numpty. Will post some pics up when I stop shivering and can get to the garage brrrrrr
     
    • Thanks Thanks x 1
  2. Have link to that, its a bit light on detail, mine shows a little tearing like cold tear BUT not how they describe, ie like a band. I had that on previous tyre so know what its like. Mine is simply tearing. Could be throttle hand too agreessive, or could be something else.
     
  3. Dont Think the wear is that bad, maybe a hint of cold tear, hard rear when only mid-high teens, so could be they didnt get hot enough but the psi stayed within 1 from warmers to returning back

  4. Tyres don't look to bad to me. I can't see any tearing ? With cold tears you can dig your nail under the surface of the tyre...into the tear.

    The finish you are looking for is one like a sandy beach where the tide has gone out.....all ripply effect. Your's don't look far away from that.

  5. hmmm, looks a little like hot tear with it being a wider band. The lack of pressure rise, should be 3psi, sounds like an underinflated tyre.
     
  6. Yep camt get nail under hence I didnt think cold tear. Wasnt that hot, and I did t really check them between sessions as I was on a coaching day: just warmers on and fuel in.

    Its a wide tear, more a stipple maybe than a tear, mostly on the right
     
  7. Front is nice and clean tho, so happy about that. Dropped the front 4mm or so and it steered much better, think I may lift the rear a couple now
     
  8. They look pretty good to me. But that's all relative of how much use they've had. 30 flat out laps of siverstone and they look amazing. 2 steady laps of Mallory and you might have issues. Based on an average though there's not enough damage for me to give a prognosis.
    Go faster next time and see what happens:upyeah:
     
  9. 7 sessions of Cartagena, so 50 laps tops. Not full pace, coaching day, ranged 51's to 54's average pace, so few seconds off what I'd except to be my full pace. Camt remember any slips, other than into the fast downhill left where I had a drift or two from the rear
     
  10. I get BsB scrubs and they are slick looking on the rear, hence my question really :) altho my front looks the same
