    Question. Is this something that might wear off, should I drop pressure a bit, should I simply replace, Is it highly dangerous to ride as is? It seems fine, no vibrations at cruising speed etc, it's the corners or leaning back and forth that you can tell.
    Thanks for any and all advise.

    The tire has not been compromised. I currently run 34psi in mine since Traxxion (who upgraded my front suspension a few years ago) recommended it.

    Even saying that, that type of wear in a Bridgestone tire (or any harder center compound tire) will appear at any pressure that's run in it.

    That wear you are seeing is normal, for a F6B that has more city/local miles (corner carving) than highway miles. The center of that tire has a harder compound for longevity of the tire, since they are primarily manufactured for a heavier motorcycle.

    My Bridgestone will and has exhibited the same wear. It all goes away if you take long runs more than local on your bike.
