After 11k miles, I noticed my Dunlop Winter Sport RunOnFlat had center wear, probably 2-3k of life left, but my front Elite 3 needed replaced. I had kept it at 41-43psi. I switched to the Bridgestones G704/709. I know, new shoes, but the flickability of MC tires are better. I’m glad I tried out the darkside, but I’m willing to pay more for better performance.
I think you had way to much air, that why center wore out. I run 33 to 35 pound cold that equals around 38 to 39 hot. I have worn edge off of tire riding Arkansas but I have never worn out the center.
You're making a smart, safe move. MC tires are safer. They have to handle better, they're made to lean to the sides.

No problemo with a car tire here. I prefer it to a M/C tire on the F6B. Just got back from the Rally in Franklin, NC and I couldn't even tell a C/T was on the back. No sidewall wear at all. As a matter of fact you can almost see chicken strips on the edge of the car tire's tread.Quote:
