My IS rear tire with 10K miles has cracks just like those shown below. WTH is going on? I've never have had this happen before.  |

Just fer yuks and giggles what's the manufacturer date code on the tire? MAYBE a ply separation? RIDE SAFE.

Today is the tommorow you worried about yesterday. If at first you don't succeed screw it-save it for nite check. 1964 1968 U S Navy. Two cruises off Nam.

Is there a lump or a bump near the cracking/cracks? What pressure are you maintaining in that tire? Did you perhaps hit a big pothole or pavement separation recently? Ya-i know-way more questions than answers! RIDE SAFE.

Now potholes. No lumps or bumps. "Religious" bout maintaining 42psi front and 44psi rear. Thanks to you and others for the replies. |

And no I am not an aggressive rider, tires just dont last that long. Funny thing I have the exact same tire size brand pressure (44 psi) as I had on my Street Glide, tang tire lasted 17k and still had a bit of tread the one on my Valk has About 5k and is over half worn out. Riddle me that.
