Tyre compounds are made to disperse heat through the whole tyre, so as the centre heats and the air pressure rises also, it will warm the rest of the tyre. Otherwise you`d have major problems on track where most corners are on one side of the tyre e.g here there mostly right handers so if a tyre didn`t spread the heat efficiently you`d cook the right side of the tyre and the left would feel cool.

 

Wow, I guess this article goes to show that we should really:

1). Know our course.
2). Don't over drive our machine.
3). Don't over drive as a rider.
4). Do more research.

Thanks for the article. Just yesterday I was weaving to warm up my tires becuase I knew a long wide sweeping turn was coming up and that traffic was about to let go. I hummed around the turn with the belief that my tire efforts were a good thing. I guess my bike was ready no matter how much "warming" I did on the street.

 

dude...just do a phat *** burn out and get that bitch sticky! and u will be good

 

ok if weaving does nothing to warm the tires. Why do we see the AMA and MotoGP guys do it all the tyme? Or are some here just smarter than the pros making millions racing?

 

possibly to get that film off new tires?

Lower your tire pressure and do a small burn out to warm it up.

 

i could be 110% wrong here (no im not being a smart ***, the comp. im using at the moment isnt very bright at all.....on its brightest setting, so pics are pretty dark) but the pic of your tires seems like it has some dried up salty residue on it. im in MD and riding through the winter......and i've seen what that salty residue looks like on my tire when i get home from work/riding......looks sorta like that pic of your tire. i could be wrong, but that could be a contributing factor as to why you went down.

 

burn outs are stupid n waste the tire so thats not an option. My tires get warmed up on the 15 mile ride to the mountain so lol.
