[QUOTE="N4HHE, post: 1320836, member: 89143"] I don't doubt that plays a role, but I do doubt that is the only force in play. Front end caster (rake) affects steering on motorcycles and automobiles. The longer outer vs inner path is the cause of tire scalloping. I can imagine how some tread patterns can be less susceptible but can't imagine how any motorcycle tire can be immune. 40 years ago the ribbed front tire which was in vogue had the same problem. We experience the above inside/outside thing differently with different tire selections. Currently my OE Bridgestone at 3500 miles with 38 PSI tries to fall into slow speed turns when cold but not so much 5-10 miles later. Have seen lengthy discussions in other forums as to whether a tire is "neutral". [/QUOTE]
