Strange "line" wear on rear tire
Ok here's my issue, and sorry if the section is wrong, but I thought it might not be much "technical" after all.
I noticed this weird line on my rear tire. I'm kinda worried that it might split in half at some point, can someone tell me what it might be? Tires are new, 5 months old.
It appeared like out of nowhere and got me thinking. Will I die? HALP

Just read about this in the April issue of Motorcyclist. They say it's called "antenna tread" and that it is a section of tread devoid of silica in order to dissipate static electricity. Shocking.

Your next set of tires (Dunlop) will not have this flaw!

Yes, that was a joke....sort of. I strongly suggest going away from Michelin and moving to something else. For the street those tires have more problems that just the compound line. Dunlop Q2/3 or Bridgestone BT-016 tires are a much better choice. You'll thank me for it!

If so what do you think?
I've found the 3 and 4 to be a great wearing tire that easily carry's the bike to lean angles that cause hard parts to drag. No cold weather or rain bad manners. Only thing I don't know about is Mid Texas Summer heat and advanced track day pace in any temp.

Jamie have you tried the Pilot Road 3 or 4 ?

I've had poor results. They are a stiff carcass tire which only works well for track use. For the street I suggest people avoid anything in the Pilot series.
