Which side is which? There seems to be tearing along the tread at the first groove from the top

[TheBoy]

top is inside edge, bottom is outside edge.

Too high cornering speed, (assume you don't stand on the brakes into a corner), coupled with too low tyre pressure. That cracking on the first inside groove is a concern though

Whats wrong with that then?

  is that tyre near side or off side and is opposite one worn the same way or in reverse

That was NSF. OSF was similar wear pattern, though slightly less pronounced.

Actually, the OSF is down to the wear markers in the middle though.

Braking into mid roundabout from dual carriageway+ speeds by any chance... detroys the outer edge and tries to rip the inner edge off in the process, not helped by low pressures... at a guess.

Owners manual suggests using full load pressures if regularly running at, ahem, high speed... and don't forget the 150-200kg boot load

Which they would be, given the osf wheel is only loaded as you change direction and accelerate off the roundabouts, so less vertical load, coupled with a higher lateral load

What you need is some Avon Roadrunners

Tend to run fronts at 33-34psi on fronts (and 28-30 rears).

Was never clear on what the manual's definition of "high speed" was...

[05omegav6]

iirc anything over a ton, but was trying to be polite

That said, given the abundance of dual carriageways and roundabouts, the loads imposed with suggest higher pressures regardless of actual speed

I don't drive like Gixer

[05omegav6]

Your tyres suggest you might be stretching the truth slightly
