OK, this is looking slightly more serious
If you've seen my previous post you'll know I had some handling issues with the Maxxis Supermaxx on the front of my 2004 Fz6N.
The rear tyre is a Dunlop sportmax and I thought the funny wear patterns on the front tyre might be because the two tyres weren't compatable, so I posted some pics and had lots of helpful replies.
I have not been able to change the tyre yet, so I have been checking the tyres regularly, the attached pics show what I found today
The bike didn't 'feel' right going round slow speed right turns, especially in the wet, and these splits are only on the right side of the tyre.
Now it is obvious that the tyre is shot and I've got to replace it, but has anybody else had this sort of problem?
These cracks/splits have appeared, or at least become more visable, within the last 100 miles, and maybe I wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't been a little paranoid about the tyre and checked it after every ride.
Be careful out there people, check your bikes every trip, you never know what you might find!
