TKC80 dangerous wear pattern
My front wheel has suddenly started to slide around on corners in a more than exciting manner (on an R100GSPD with standard forks and wheels).
Looking at the TKC80 on the front I can see why. The knobs of tread have worn in a very uneven pattern, with some down to less than 1 mm and others barely worn. There is no common direction in which the wear is lying. Knobs that are right next to each other are worn in different ways and different directions.
It looks as if the contact patch of the tyre has been dangerously reduced.
The tyre has done about 2000 miles. I usually expect at least 3000.
Anyone else had this happen?
I'll be switching to Karoo 3 now. I think they have more rigidity, which might help.
