I'm getting a bit of scalloping behind the leading edge of each sipe as shown in the photo. These are Pilot Road 3's with 3,700 miles on them. The front is similar, but not as pronounced. I'm running the standard 33F/36R pressure. I weigh 205 lbs and have the rear preload at 5. I don't commute on this bike and it's only 15 or 20 minutes to some mountain twisties. I noticed this wear after some spirited riding trying to keep up with a friend on a BMW S1000RR.
Research says the rebound damping is too slow. Ours is not adjustable, so I'd like to know if there are any workarounds such as lower tire pressure, stiffer spring with less preload, Race Tech Gold Valve Kit, something else or is this degree of abnormal wear acceptable?
