I am now the proud owner of a new set of Metzeler Z6 Interact tires. These replace the original 9 year old Metzeler tires that had about 10,000 miles on them and I am truly looking forward to testing them out.
The old rear tire had a very bad flat spot in the middle, bordering on breaking through to the cords. The front tire also had a flat spot and this is what is strange to me. This flat spot was offset to the left, beggining about 1 inch off center and was about 1.5 to 2 inches wide. I am just wondering if anyone else has ever had something like that and what could cause this to be offset like that?
About 90% of my riding was done riding a total of 20 miles to work and back each day. There are an equal number of left and right hand corners between here and work. I asked the guy who swapped tires for me and he said he had never really seen anything like that, without an obvious reason like an accident or something. Any Ideas? I'd rather not do this to my new tires.
