When my dealer will exchange the oil at 6.000 km in about 2 weeks he will also throw away these bad rim savers and replace it by Pirelli Sport Demon. The new BT tires in 160 dimension are too broad for me, I like more slim and agile rear tires.
The sawtooth pattern results in a "singing" or "howling" of the front tire when not riding straight. Additonally, there is also a little shimmy recognizable.
The rear tire is still fine, enough rubber for another 6.000 km or so. But the front tire is beyond good and evil. The Dunlop tires seem to be technology from the past century.
Now after roughly 3.500 km on my Pirelli Sport Demon, the front tire shows "saw teeth" too.Another bike which I saw accidentally yesterday on a parking lot has that too (Bridgestone tires). So it seems that neither the driver nor the tire is the reason but the CB1100.
Does anyone else of you have this issue with the front tire?

I have the original BTs on mine, and the wear is even. Although the wear indicators are showing, the tire itself is fine...
