here's something to ponder.
i was riding my streetbike and noticed the sidewalls were wearing pretty bad for a streetbike.
we know the centers wear out on streetbikes because people ride straight up and down all the time.
but on a race bike, do the sides wear more because you're on the side of the tire more often (as my friend says, at those speeds the straights really aren;t that straight)? or is it that cornering puts more forces on the tire?
anyone know?
