I will try and get a pic when I have a chance, but, 700 or so miles, and my front tires have some odd wear. All stock. 2020 700-4. Middle and sides are fine, sections in between are wearing down. Only on the fronts. Anyone else see this?

Check alignment and tire pressure

I will, but the odd thing, both sides wearing the same. And like I said, new machine, about 700 miles total.

The toe-in was normally off on the P1K's when new. Not sure about the 700, @Mudwing and @Backwoods would be a lot more helpful on that.

Its fairly common for them to be off . I had the dealer check mine when I bought it. Sometimes their prep is not thorough.

Not saying its not alignment, but I have ever seen tires wear on the inside and outside, on both sides, but not down the center.

the pic doesn’t show it very well. But it’s also both front tires equally.

That is odd, I have never saw wear.pattern like that either. I'm probably wrong but I'm guessing under inflation. Do what I would do Google odd tire wear patterns

Same thing here at about 500 miles on a 4 month old 2020. Chopped to hell and back. Mostly asphalt and gravel with some woods and pasture. Went ahead and replaced them since I was doing much more road riding than I expected.

If you under inflate, the edges wear normally. The edges aren’t wearing down a lot. It’s between the edges and center. I plan to go to a less aggressive tire next. At least I’m not the only one who had it.

27" terrabites just put on a few days ago. Sit great, much quieter on the road and hopefully give me a couple thousand miles
