I struggle for traction when accelerating hard and when over 120 mph.

The rear wheel spins up a lot and the back end slides quite a bit cornering.

Is it because I'm a really good rider?

This is the tyre it's slick like racing tyres which should make me faster

Check out yo chicken strips brah, pussy. Razz

Serious question now, are most race tracks left turns or something?
That's a big difference in tread from left to right there.

Does this tyre need changing or can I just use the edges?

The exposed canvas will draw up water instead of letting it pool dangerously beneath the tyre. It's a safety feature. Enjoy many more miles!

I'm the abusive one, am I Pjay?

You have such a short memory, why only 8 months ago, that odious twat, Fazer, was posting this, (page 5, 8th post down, quoted for posterity):-

Funnily enough, the thread got removed, but you can find it if you know how.

I've always wanted to do burnouts on a tyre I'm about to replace too.

I've flagged him as abusive before now.

Calling someone a 'C**t is abusive to me and he didn't do anything to personally offend you here.

Have you followed the link I posted?

Fazer is a selfish, ignorant, ungrateful, foul mouthed, constantly abusive, racist, moron with no redeeming features whatsoever, who loves reaching for the karma button, for no other reason than, he can.

In my books that makes him a cnut! (misspelt to save your blushes).

Tyre is clearly struggling to fight the drag caused by the mahoosive numberplate.
