I had my stock tires changed because the stock were squaring of in the middle and no meet on the middle. So i put a new METZ M3, and i do feel a difference. But how do you avoid that again.
 
All you can really do is to put on a multi compound tire. Riding in the twistys on the week end will help to keep it round but you really need a multi compound tire to start with if you commute. My first tire (OEM) squared off badly. My second (Dunlop Roadsmart) tried to a bit but held its shape pretty well. Most of the Michelins I've seen hold shape really well as long as you put in a bit of work in the twistys.
Any how that's my two bits. Hope it helps.:thumbup:
Cheers

all tires will tend to square off in the middle if you do more straight riding than turning. The best ways to avoid it are to get a multi compound tire (harder rubber in the middle and softer on the sides), also keeping your tires at the proper pressures at all times will lessen it considerably
