Tyre wear

Just wondering if anyone knows if this is normal,
The rear Pirelli Diablo is loosing chunks on the leading edge of the
tread blocks, is it a suspension set up? (too much rearbound or compression) I am still playing with the Ohlins.
Hope the pix show it clearly.

looks like normal wear from some hardish accelleration to me. The pics are not that clear however.

under inflation will do that but the tire generally feels better with a little less air in it anyway.

I know what you mean Wattie!!......After 160 klms of a track day, mine are looking like they may need to be changed BEFORE the snowies trip!
But they do grip awesomely well!!!!

Sorry about the pix I just got the camera
That's the old road on that 40 degree day, but it dose it even on cold days.
I would hate to see a soft tyre it was a standard Diablo
yep, there is evidence of it coming out of most corners, long skinny bits of black evidence.....
