I pump my front to 40psi and voila!! no more excessive wear

thats fuckin' GOLD mate !!



btw - for what its worth, some tyres (Dunlops come to mind) are built around a 'triangular' profile right from the start. These ones offer excellent side-grip, but do tend to upset handling a bit in a straight line.....as you ride along the pointy bit.......

You guys are funny farkers. Love the pic, EyeCandyDave Very cool

Thanks for the serious answers too, guys. My front is rooted, making the handling total shite. I now need to work on the lad to up the budget so I can get another set of the corsas, instead of going back to BT014s

Softer initial resistances will see earlier or more scalloping, than a fork which has more initial tension - so, spring rate; low-speed bump damping and tyre pressure will all influence things duly... this said, a few years back for no good reason, other than geometry on the Honda being quite extreme, i actually wore out the front tyre slightly before the rear - that were on Pirelli Diablos if that helps.... (shocking!)
