Quoted by Bridgestone as "Serious Performance, High Mileage!"
I replaced my Dunlop Sportmax tires after 19000 km of great wear (rear was still O.K.) with Bridgestone BT-021. I have covered 12,000 k (7500 miles) since fitted in May 2009 of which 5000 miles were ridden in the past 3 weeks on a road tour (Interstate highway mainly) across the USA. The wear on both tires is serious with the front having scalloped on the side walls and ridged visibly. The whole profile of the tire has changed from a radius to a 1.1/2" wide flat strip in the centre and heavy marks on the sidewall. This cannot be normal?
HAS ANY ELSE TRIED BRIDGESTONE AND OR EXPERIENCED THIS WEAR PATTERN WITH ANY OTHER TIRES?
Scottie.
