Got a call from my HD dealer, asking if I really wanted the same rear tire, cause there were chunks missing!!
Turns out the chucks weren't missing, but, delamination was taking place. The attached photo was the only one in focus, sorry, but the delamination you see is happening in 3 areas.
I talked with the Metzeler rep at the Toronto MC Show, he will be picking up the tire and will let me know what they think happened. He is speculating, low tire pressure, caused overheating of the tire, which led to the delamination. I assured him that I kept the tires at the max as printed on the sidewall of the tire, 49psi, I did get 12,000 miles out of the rear, so I'm not complaining.
Will let the group know, what they said, when they call.....brian
