: has this happened to anyone else running Dunlop 208ZRs? Fireblade_Rider 08-16-2005, 11:46 AM Some of the sidewall came off and now there's two eraser sized nubbs sticking out. I noticed it yesterday after work. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/plthumbsdown.gif http://www.gixxer.com/uploads/bad_tire_02.jpg http://www.gixxer.com/uploads/bad_tire_01.jpg mpdgsxr1000 08-16-2005, 11:54 AM dont worry about it, probably got some extra rubber smeared into the manufacture date area and its just now flaking off Grandevil 08-16-2005, 12:46 PM http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/wtf.gif Dangeruss 08-16-2005, 01:03 PM Thats where a part of the tire mold has an insert for the manufacturing date. Excess rubber oozes around those seams in the mold cavity and creates "flash" that often sticks back to the tire carcass when it's hot out of the mold. You're not seeing anything out of the ordinary there. You just never paid any attention to it before. Oh yeah... clean your bike!

This tire still has a little life so much appreciated guys http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif As for cleaning my bike...I'm a little lazy sometimes. I'll see if I can work it in between beers this weekend. | ||
