Dunlop specific this time
Last Monday I swapped tires at lunch (thanks a bunch John for swapping the tire so quickly for me!).
I went from a:
KR449 190/55 7455 compound slick
to a:
211GPA 190/60 7455 compound
Now my question is this. The slick tire wore great. Never had any odd wear patterns on either side and was always in pretty good shape its entire life. However, the new 211 has this weird ring around its right side. (See pic). For both tires I used the exact same warming and pressure recommendations that Dunlop recommends: 33/23 hot off the warmers. This is the first time I've ever noticed odd wear patterns and I've been running 211s and Dunlop slicks for a couple years now.
Should I be worried or am I making much ado about nothing?
