[QUOTE="passenger0_0, post: 97995, member: 208"] Could it be due to you using a different riding style between the road and the track? On the road we tend to ride more conservatively and progressively lean into the corner. On the track we know the surface well and can ride more aggressively, turning in the handle bars on corners and causing more wear on the front tyre. Essentially the front tyre works harder when racing compared to road riding. This difference in riding style is demonstrated by the rear tyre often needing replacement at twice the rate of the front while road riding. On the track however the front often wears at the same rate as the rear. Having said all of this, of course if you have a really powerful bike then the rear will be spinning up more on the track and will completely disprove my point! o_O [/QUOTE]
