Need a new rear. Is it my riding style?

[Tryhard]

Seems like pretty good advice from where I'm sitting. You put tyres on a bike to make sure it stays upright, when they let go the first time you start thinking about putting new ones on, if! they let go again you ride directly to the tyre shop and you put new ones on.
Otherwise you are going to your own funeral.
I'd say with an attitude such as yours you are going to become one of Kb's not so well received types, not to mention having no respect for time in or bikes ridden by other posters.
Can't take a hint? or the heat! get out of the kitchen bitch!

Don't drag me into this bitchfight

The tyre might just be old, that would explain the chunks to me.

When you really are pushing too hard in the corners you won't need to ask on the internets, trust me.

And if you need new tyres ... the people that sell them is usually your first stop.

I can understand the pushing bit though ... it is a honda. (is he gay too .. ???)

That tyre has been cooked, not by rolling smokies or seriously fast riding either.

not a bad vid but don't really cover what you're seeing ! Apart from a bit of geometry wear on your front tire !

have a good few reads through this and get ya head around the set up of suspension that the dude was talking about in the vid .

I get the feeling the rear is an old tire and chipping with heavy chip seal

As someone has said check the age of the tire there should be a 4 digit date on the side wall somewhere that reads the week and year like 2307 or 4011, but a simple test is to dig ya fingernail into the tire and it should depress the rubber easily , if it feels crunchy or hard it's probably gettin old like 07 08 and rather dodgy if that is the case.

Don't look like your going too hard out in corners, but an old tire could let go at the most inoportune time lol

If it was blue you might be using it too hard. No discoloration at all. Just looks like it has been run at really low pressures for a long time to me. Buy a new tyre.
