[QUOTE="Redfish Hunter, post: 1326678, member: 28773"] Regardless of what you call it, cupping, feathering, uneven wear, whatever, once a wear pattern gets started there is no stopping it. On a car you can rotate the position of the tires on the vehicle and this largely minimizes the issue. Not on a motorcycle. I did read that you had switched to the PR4GT and I honestly would have recommended that tire. I can tell you that no front tire I ever ran on my ST1300, no tire we ever ran on Dad's '07 FJR, and none of the tires that have been on the front of my '15 ES have worn smoothly. They have all exhibited some sort of goofy wear pattern. What I do is... Ride More, Stress Less. [/QUOTE]
