Tire Wear

Posted on May 16, 2008 21:57 by Taino

The wear on the front tire is looking a little ragged. It didn't look this bad during the winter months when riding temps were around 65F - 70F, and the tire pressures are usually 29F/31R (as low as 28F/30R). Today, however, the front tire looks like it's tearing a bit.

I may try some higher pressures the next time out to see how the tire reacts.

Ambient Temperature: ~78F
Tire Pressure: 28.5F/30.5R
Average entry speed: 40 mph
Average exit speed: 40 mph
Average slowest mid-corner speed: 34 mph
Average highest lateral acceleration: .9 G

Front tire tridents have all been worn off the tread.

Rear tire chicken strip rides right above third prong in trident. Tread-wear looks good.
