Anyone else had this experience with the Pilot Power 3? A visible ridge between the different compounds on the rear tyre?
It really stands out when you run your finger over it, bumping down to the edge compound. Handling doesn't appear compromised - profile remaining consistent even after 6000km (photo taken at about 4500km).
This is a 190/50 R17. Same wear displayed on my partners Power 3 - except a 180/55 R17. Haven't run into it before.

Yep they all do that, doesn't seem to affect grip.
I'm up to 7000km on my PP3 rear and should get another 1000, will def buy another.

its a 2ct so the edges are super soft compared to the other 1/2 so they are wearing unevenly

I just put a set of these on my Buell yesterday so far they seem superior to the Pirelli's that they replaced

Look at the chicken strip FFS, lean it over a bit and they might wear better!

Ive got about 8000ks on mine and its just starting to slighty square off with no strange looking ridge
like yours, my fronts on about 11000k and still looking real good , im very happy with the PP3s.

You can get panties that have no seam...

They must actually be getting leant over.
OP, why are you running a 190/50 anyway?
Never seen an advantage on anything other than laden tourers, Busa or ZX14s. If you're not in those groups, you're just adding to the big contact patch in the middle for no gain.

Possibly even ridden hard.

Standard size on '05 RSV1000 Factory. I know it's homologated for 180/55, 190/50 and 190/55 but still first set of tyres i've had on it and haven't seen a reason to change.

Twins are mongrels on tyres, so if it's working for you then all good.
If it is a limiting factor for tyre option or price, 190/55 will help with more even edge wear by increasing the contact patch size when ya get it on it's side.

I've heard all over the place about twins and tyre wear but i've never had crap mileage from tyres. This set is up to 6700 or so now, and i think the rear might get to 9000, or 10,000. Usually wear everything out evenly.
Really impressed with the general wear of the PP3, held its profile really well. 5000 of those current k's are from zooming around the country.
If I head down the 190/55 route I might have to do a bit of a speed comparison - it's quite a bit taller than the 190/50. Dont need any tickets!
Speed pickup on the RSV is off the rear brake rotor bolts.
