Luckily I spotted this *before* it blew out on me....
That's the front tire of my 2012 Yamaha FJR1300. Bike and tires were new when I bought them. That tire has only 8K miles on it. There's also a very noticeable "hump" on the right hand side of that pic.
Am I correct in assuming this *isn't* the normal life expectancy for a stock Bridgestone? I've had two other stock sets and they've all sucked but I've never had a set wear like this.
And it's not like I'm a squid or ride twisties all day long. My normal commute is on the highway for only about 50 miles/day.
I have been using the front brake much more often. Would that cause an issue? Any help or advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
And yes - I AM getting Pilot Power 3s put on ASAP.
