    I know tyres are a personal preference but has anyone gone from s22 to power gps.
    Love the s22s but i kerp getting strange wear on front tyre.
    Suspension hasbeen serviced and set up for me so going to try a different tyre i think.

    It will be quick road but i also ride in rain and cold temperatures.

    Show us a picture of the tire , please. Anyways, it sounds like the suspension settings or the geometry are not set correct.

    It's pretty much impossible to comment anything without seeing the tire and no offense to anybody but there are a lots of "suspension tuners" out there. Not saying that's the situation here but just saying. S22 is an excellent tire so I'm pretty sure the problem is elsewhere.

    Yea i get you with suspension place but it is reputable place. My mate has same kind of thing with his s22 and ive seen others online with same issue on s22. The tyre has been faultless tbh apart from. Strange wear on front

    Plenty of grip in all conditions unless you ride like MM on the road

    That was the Bridgestone :mad:
    All it kept doing is spinning up unless it was really hot
    No such thing with the metzeler until it was bald and in the wet:D:D:D

    Maybe give the M9 a go next ? - they really are good. I put them on the new GSX-S1000 almost straight away.
