[QUOTE="nimnifnof, post: 1467542, member: 94699"] Howdy all. I recently replaced my Dunlop Roadsmart IVs with another set (my third). This set had just under 13,000 miles on this set. I was about to take a longer ride and didn't want to be looking for new tires in the middle of it as the center of the tire one was pretty much done. The front tire on this set had an odd wear pattern. The left side of the tire developed "bumps" on it. They can be clearly seen as the white ovals on the tire pic. It is a raised area with concrete dust from my garage floor and the black areas around them aren't even making ground contact. It looks like it is starting on the right side too. What would cause this? I run the tires 40/42, and no unusual wear on the rear. It's still a great tire, with almost no chicken strips on the back. :p I'm sticking with them again and hope this front was a one-off issue, but I wonder if there could be other causes that I may be doing to prevent it from happening again.
