Tear on center of the rear tire

[aniladitya]

I went out for a ride in twisties and when I came back, I noticed a tear pattern on middle of the rear tire. Any idea what may cause this?

 

[ST Guy]

On the gas hard coming out of corners?

In any case, I wouldn't give it a second thought.

Which motorcycle?

What tire pressures in use?

That's nothing but a bit of over enthusiastic throttle.

You, Sir, have been speeding.

You, Sir, have been speeding.

Methinks he needs an award.

Which motorcycle?

What tire pressures in use?

I am on a GSXR 1000.

Tires are Dunlop Q3 plus. Pressures are 32 cold, rear and front

Does this mean i am accelerating hard on a straight line? I have never seen this during a track day.

 

[Aware]

Seems quite normal ...

 

[aniladitya]

You, Sir, have been speeding.

I cannot confirm nor deny that

 

[mototireguy]

Nothing abnormal.

Maybe try 34-35psi.

Keep up the good work.

The irregular surfaces that you call tearing is just off center, so I'd say you're accelerating hard while still leaned a bit coming out of the corners. :thumb

Take a close look at used race rubber from a World Superbike or MotoGP and you'd faint at the "tearing".

Go ride!:ride
