Anakee II front unevenly worn
« on: November 04, 2013, 23:43:25 »
Hello,

today, I have finally replaced my front Anakee II tyre.
After 19000+ km, it showed clear signs of wear, specially on its left side!



Uploaded with ImageShack.us

The most likely explanation for this uneven wear is that I do tackle many roundabouts on a regular basis.

I have decided to try a front BattleWing, which in due course will have also a Battlewing as a rear companion  :)
Sorry, as I've had wobbles in the past (with rear Metzelers), I dare not try a front TrailAttack (which has a reputation of "wobbler") 8)

Greetings,

Josep

Slow down,slow down!
You must be racing over those roundabouts Josep  ;)

Because of the 2-compounds technology I guess the sides will wear quicker than the middle of the tyre.

Btw : 19K for a front tyre is not bad at all tmo!

I agree with the above comment. I saw this on both sets of Anakee 2 and it's also starting on my anakee 3's. I hope I get 19k out of my front tyre!

19000 kms on Contis sounds really good to me , unexpected too many miles.

Next time need to organize 1/2 worn exchange with Brit rider. (opposite way round roundabouts). No?
