I was out for a late afternoon cruise in the SV yesterday when I noticed a deteriation in handling.
I puled off the road and checked the front tyre to see if it had lost some pressure - and this is what I found:

There is a line around the total circumference of the front tyre, which is slightly raised when you run your finger from side to side.
A VERY slow ride home followed this discovery and I will be taking the bike into the local tyre dealer who fitted this tyre during the week.
As you can see, the live actually swerves around the tread, showing that this isn't the result of something scoring the tyre.
Any thoughts on this one guys?
Oh yeah, the tyre is a Michelin Pilot Power 120/70 ZR17, Made in Spain and about 1/3 worn, plus I check tyre pressure every time I go riding.
In light of Michelin's recent front tyre recall, any information would be welcomed.
Cheers
